Spicy Spanish Chorizo Stew

Sackville's Note:

The eggs turn this one-dish wonder into a hearty meal. If you really like your spice, you could add a jalapeno pepper in with the other vegetables.

DH and I made this stew for lunch a few days ago and loved it! Wonderful flavors, just the right amount of spice, and loved all of the hearty veggies. We used chorizo and prosciutto. I would definitely have this stew again. Thanks!

Five thumbs up --- WAY up! I tried the recipe last weekend: it was something new for both me and my family and we all loved it. I used prosciutto and good red wine sausage. The eggs really give the dish a new dimension. Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
