Pringás

Pringás is a deliciously meaty combination of chicken, beef, pork and chorizo that's slow-cooked for hours until it forms a rillettes-like spread that's perfect on toast. In Andalusia it's eaten for breakfast with toast, but we think it'd be good at any time of day! This recipe is extracted from Andalusia by José Pizarro (Hardie Grant, £26). Photography by Emma Lee.
