Ingredients
- ½ lb uncooked chorizo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- ¼ cup Italian parsley, chopped
- 1 loaf of rustic bread
Instructions
- Cut the chorizo in ½ inch thick slices. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chorizo for 2 minutes per side.
- Add the wine, garlic and bay leaves and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until you have a thick sauce.
- Top with some parsley and serve with bread.
Notes
- Use fresh or semi-cured Spanish chorizo if possible. Keep in mind fresh doesn't slice perfect but tastes great.
- Just flip the chorizo once when cooking as you want to get a nice char on it.
- Use a quality red wine you are willing to drink like Rioja or Malbec.
- Toast the bread to add some additional texture.
