Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 red onion, finely diced

2 tbsp tomato purée

2 x 400g tins Asda Chopped Tomatoes with Garlic in Tomato Juice

2 tsp dried oregano

pinch of crushed chillies

100g Asda Creamy Original Soft Cheese

½ x 25g pack Asda Mild & Peppery Flat Leaf Parsley, roughly chopped

125g ball of mozzarella, drained and patted dry

50g extra mature cheddar, coarsely grated

50g Asda Extra Special Chorizo Casero, cut into roughly 3mm rounds

1 baguette, torn or cut into chunks (optional)

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°/180°C fan/gas 6.

Heat the oil in a roughly 26cm ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5–6 mins, stirring, until golden brown and softened. Mix in the tomato purée and cook, stirring, for a further 2 mins then tip in the chopped tomatoes, oregano and crushed chillies. Season then mix everything together and bring to a simmer. Cook it until the tomato sauce has thickened and the flavour has intensified, around 8–10 mins.

Remove the pan from the heat then stir through the soft cheese and most of the parsley, setting aside about 1 tbsp to garnish. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you like, then tear the mozzarella into small chunks and dot on top of the cheesy tomato mixture. Evenly scatter over the cheddar then finish with the chorizo slices, laying them out evenly across the top.

Bake for 25–28 mins, until golden brown and bubbling. Serve from the pan with slices of fresh baguette, if you like. Alternatively, if you have any other bread to use up, cut it into slices and lightly drizzle with olive oil then lay out on a baking tray. Add to the oven for about 5–6 mins, until crisp and golden, then serve it alongside the dip.
