I think it might be time to light our fire for the first time this winter. Maybe do some chestnuts too.

Lamb and Chorizo stew (serves 4)

450g lamb (neck fillet, shoulder or stewing lamb)
250g chorizo
2 tins tomato
1 red pepper (roughly chopped)
2 onions (roughly chopped)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tblsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to season
250mls red wine
1 tin chick peas drained

To serve: steamed couscous with chopped coriander.
To drink: a rich cabernet sauvignon, Rioja or shiraz.

Sauté the onions in the olive oil till soft, chop the chorizo into small pieces and sauté with the onions for a few minutes until the chorizo releases some of its oils and starts to colour the onions.
Add the lamb and paprika, fry off gently for 1 minute.
Add the tinned tomatoes and the red wine, stir gently.
Finally add the chopped peppers.
Simmer over a low heat for 3hrs or in a low oven (120)
After 1 hour, add the drained chick peas.

Acording to the bbc weather it's going to snow here in a half hour.

Looking out the window there's a clear blue sky.............
