Chorizo In Red Wine Tapas Food

SAUTéED CHORIZO WITH RED WINE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently sauté the onion for a few mins until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a few mins more.
• Push the onion and garlic to the side of the pan and add the chorizo. Brown all over, then add the wine and stir in the honey.
• Cover and cook gently for 5 mins or until the sausages are cooked through and coated with the sauce. Add a splash of water if the pan is looking dry. Serve scattered with parsley and some crusty bread to mop up the spicy juices.

CHORIZO TAPAS

Steps:

• For the chorizo in red wine, heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the olive oil, shallot and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
• Add the chorizo to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp and the oil is released.
• Add the bay leaves and red wine, and cook until the volume of wine has reduced to just coat the chorizo.
• For the prawns with chorizo, heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the olive oil and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the chorizo and fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
• Add the sea salt and prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are just pink.
• Add the dry sherry and deglaze the pan.
• Tip into a serving dish and sprinkle over the parsley.

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!
