CHORIZO PUFFS (BUNUELOS DE CHORIZO)

Steps:

• Saute the chorizo in a skillet for a couple of minutes until it starts to give off its oil. (Drain off some oil if there is a lot.) To make the dough, place in a saucepan over medium heat the water, butter and salt. When the water comes to a boil and the butter has melted, add the flour all at once. Lower the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and beat in the eggs 1 at a time. The dough will separate, then hold together again. (This step may be done effortlessly in a food processor; once the flour has been added and forms a ball, transfer the dough to the processor. Process for 15 seconds. Add both eggs and beat for 45 seconds.) Combine the Bunuelo dough with the chorizo. (This can also be done in the processor.) (May be prepared ahead.) In a skillet heat the oil at least 1/2-inch deep to about 380 degrees F. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the oil and fry over medium hear, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels. (May be kept warm in 200 degree F oven up to 30 minutes.)

STUFFED MUSHROOMS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a large baking pan.
• Cut off the stems from the mushroom caps and then chop the stems. Place the mushroom caps stem side down, into the prepared pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their liquid.
• Meanwhile, you can heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Then add the chorizo and cook it until it for about 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to brown. Take the chorizo out and reserve.
• Reduce the heat to med-low and then add the onion, cooking for about 4-5 minutes, or until the onion gets soft. Add the chopped mushroom stems and cook another 3 minutes. Take out the veggie mixture and add it to the chorizo. Let cool.
• Next, stir the bread, cheese and parsley into the chorizo and veggie mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Turn the mushroom caps over and divide the chorizo mixture among them,making sure the mixture is mounded on each mushroom cap. Bake the caps for approximately 15 minutes, or until heated through.
