Chorizo In Red Wine Tapas Recipes

CHORIZO IN RED WINE TAPAS

Steps:

• Simply cut the chorizo sausage into 1cm discs, put it in a small saucepan, pour over just enough wine to cover & put the lid on. Bring to the boil & simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, cool, leave for 24 hours them simply re-heat.
• You can also make this much healthier by removing the orange fat from the chorizo before you re-heat.
• I serve this with crusty garlic bread & other tapas - if you have any wine liquid remaining, it's a fab base for a tomato sauce for potatoes to go with your tapas.
• Enjoy - this really is so simple, yet so tasty!

Steps:

• Cut the chorizo inot 1/2 inch rounds.
• Add half the chorizo and fry on both sides for 1 minute each. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep hot.
• Add the remaining oil and remaining chorizo and cook as stated above.
• Add the wine and thyme to the pan and swirl to dissolve the sediment. NOTE: if using kielbasa, add 2 t of paprika to the pan as well. Cook gently to thicken and reduce the sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the hot chorizo, sprinkle with pepper and serve with chunks of torn bread for dipping.
