Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sweat until softened but not colored, about 5 minutes. Add chorizo and bay leaves and cook gently until chorizo colors onions, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and sauté until beginning to soften on the outside, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage and season with salt and pepper.

Pour in enough chicken stock to just cover vegetables and increase heat to high. Once stock comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
