Pig Out Salsa (Chorizo, Black Bean and Corn Salsa)

Report

Recipe video above. Terrific for scooping up with chips and flat bread, or serving over a simple piece of grilled chicken or fish. Try it once, and you'll understand why I call this a PIG OUT SALSA - because it's so addictive! The dressing is kept simple because the pan juices from the cooked chorizo are tossed throughout the salsa which is loaded with flavour!

Instructions

Chop chorizo into small pieces.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and chorizo and cook for 4 - 5 minutes until golden all over. Set aside to cool, but not cold (oil will harden).
Shake Dressing in a jar until well combined.
Place beans, tomato, corn, onion and coriander in a bowl. Pour over Chorizo, including all the oil in the skillet, and the Dressing. Toss and serve!

Notes

Chorizo - Get the the type that is cured like salami (ie cuttable into small pieces) rather than raw like uncooked sausages (ie like raw mince / ground meal inside).
Cherry tomatoes - I like to make this with cherry tomatoes because I find they can be "diced" smaller than normal tomato, making it easier to scoop up with chips. But you can definitely use normal tomatoes!
Serve this Salsa over a simple piece of grilled protein (fish and chicken are my favourite), or with chips, flatbread pieces etc. Try it on toast with eggs, toss it through a leafy green salad, mix it through frittata. The possibilities!!!
Leftovers will keep for 3 days. Also a good one for making ahead then lightly reheating (just to liquify any solidified fat/oil) and serve at room temperature.
