Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links chorizo sausage
- 2 medium yellow onion
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chorizo links into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chorizo in a single layer, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced onions over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook for 8-10 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet and stir everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer with crusty bread or as a main dish with a side of rice or potatoes.
