Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams chorizo sausage (smoked or semi-cured)
- 250 milliliters dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the chorizo into 1-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the sliced chorizo to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to release its oils and slightly crisps up on the edges.
Pour the red wine into the pan and add the bay leaf.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let the chorizo cook in the wine for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine reduces and slightly thickens into a sauce.
Remove the bay leaf and transfer the chorizo and sauce to a serving dish.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread for dipping.
