- Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5.

- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and add the chorizo, breaking the meat up as it cooks. Cook and stir for 8 minutes, or until the meat is not longer pink. Sprinkle in the red pepper chilli flakes, and season with salt and black pepper. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
