- 6 tablespoons dry white wine
- 2 egg tomatoes, quartered
- 8 new potatoes, halved and cooked

- Add the sliced chorizo and the chili cooking for a further 5 minutes.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer without the lid, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- While the sauce is cooking, heat the remaining oil in a heavy-based pan over medium-high heat.
