Ingredients
- 3 ½ oz fresh chorizo or semi-curado (see notes and more detail above)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ cup Asturian cider or other dry hard cider (see notes)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped, approx, to serve
Instructions
- Cut the chorizo into even slices (around ¼in/3mm thick or a little more).
- Warm the oil in a small skillet/frying pan over a medium heat and add the slices of chorizo in a single layer. Cook for around 3-4 minutes until starting to crisp then turn over. Note if you have fully cured chorizo, don't crisp it, just warm gently so the oils flow but no more.
- Cook for a couple minutes on the other side then add the cider to the pan. Tuck the bay leaf in between or under the chorizo slices.
- Once the cider comes to the boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for around 15-20 minutes until the cider has reduced by about half and become slightly more syrup-like. Turn the chorizo now and then as it is cooking. Remove from the heat and serve either in the skillet or a terracotta dish, topped with a little chopped parsley.
Notes
- If possible, use the softer fresh cooking chorizo or semi-curado, for this, but in sausage links rather than loose meat or pre-cut thin slices. You can use the sweeter or spicy chorizo, to taste. If you can only find cured chorizo, only cook at most a minute either side before adding the cider.
- If you have gas, you can also cook the dish in a medium-small terracotta cazuela dish.
- For a larger portion, simply increase the chorizo and cider quantities equally - you probably don't need additional bay leaves until more than doubling.
