A pork-based sausage hailing from the Iberian peninsula, the chorizo isn’t as easy to cook as it sounds. Fortunately for you, here is a guide to help you cook the perfect chorizo every time.

To Cook Or Not To Cook?

Intriguingly, you don’t have to cook a chorizo in order to enjoy it. Still, if you do wish to eat a warm chorizo, you can choose between cooking it on an open flame or in a stovetop grill pan.

What To Add

Although chorizo can be delicious on its own, there are numerous dishes you can add it to in order to enhance the overall flavor of your meal. These include a pinto bean chili, any prawn or shrimp dish, and baked cod fish.

It pairs perfectly with sauerkraut, mustard, and a warm, toasted bun for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Chorizo

Next on the menu is the spicy and vibrant Chorizo. Originating from Spain and Portugal, Chorizo is bursting with flavor. Made with a combination of ground beef, smoked paprika, and various spices, this sausage adds a kick to any dish.

Italian Sausage

Last but certainly not least, we have the beloved Italian Sausage. This sausage is a staple in Italian cuisine and is a true crowd-pleaser. Made with a mixture of meat, fennel seeds, and other herbs and spices, Italian Sausage offers a robust and aromatic taste.

Chorizo could never be vegan, right? How could it be? It’s a sausage made out of pork meat and pork fat. Well, despite the idea of vegan chorizo seeming outrageous, this is actually a thing now thanks to Chipotle. The popular American fast-food chain recently presented its new invention in the form of plant-based chorizo and has already started testing the item in select restaurants in Indianapolis and Denver for a limited time.

According to Chipotle, their plant-based chorizo is based on “natural protein sourced from freshly grown peas” and contains a healthy dose of seasoning that includes smoked paprika and ancho chili. The new offering, developed by the company itself, doesn’t contain artificial additives and is gluten-free and soy-free. It also comes with 20g of protein per serving.

This is the first of Chipotle’s first vegan protein options since sofritas, the spicy tofu item that launched back in 2014.

If the plant-based Chorizo ends up having a successful rollout, the chain is expected to make it available nationwide as a regular menu item. Interestingly, it would also be the only chorizo on the menu.

Chipotle introduced the “real” chorizo back in 2016, but the item didn’t prove to be a hit with the customers. It stopped being part of the regular menu a year later and is now being offered occasionally as a limited-time option.

Nachos are one of our favorite snacks to make for parties or simply to snack on during a lazy night at home. If you make this Mexican-inspired dish often, you might find yourself with normal toppings like black beans, shredded chicken, or tomato.

Check out these ideas for unconventional, but genius nacho toppings for the next dish of them you make.

Mushrooms

What’s rich, savory, and takes on the flavor of anything that you cook them in? That’s right, the answer is mushrooms! Try sauteeing them in a spicy Mexican sauce and then throwing them on top of nachos for a tasty treat.

Shrimp and Avocado

Are you a seafood fan who also loves nachos? You should definitely try topping them with a shrimp and avocado mix. Inspiring the flavor of ceviche, it’s a unique twist on a dish that you’ve probably never tried in this way.

Chorizo

Looking for an underappreciated meat to try on your next batch of nachos? How about chorizo, a spicy Mexican sausage that is great when crumbled on top of cheese on top of tortilla chips.

If there is any country on Earth that is world-renowned for foodies, it’s probably Spain. Located in the Iberian Peninsula, this country is recognized around the world for its fantastic gastronomy offerings and traditions.

As one of the most popular countries in the world for tourists, lots of people have been lucky enough to try some of this country’s weird and wonderful food offerings.

One that has always stuck in my mind after visiting Spain is chorizo al infierno, which literally translates to “hell chorizo.”

Chorizo is a type of Spanish sausage that’s made with pork meat and paprika. Cased in animal intestines, it’s known for its delicious, smoky flavor. Normally, it’s served dried or cut into small slices, but chorizo al infierno is totally different.

The preparation of this Spanish classic is performance art. When you’re served this dish, you might wonder why there’s a piece of uncooked, impaled chorizo on a metal rod on top of a plate of clear liquid on your table.

What you’ll see, though, is that your waiter or waitress is going to ignite this clear liquid (a high-grade alcohol that is impossible to drink) and use its flame to cook your chorizo.

After sitting above the ignited alcohol for a few minutes, your chorizo will be crispy and ready to eat. It’s a show and a delicious treat all in one!

Chorizo could never be vegan, right? How could it be? It’s a sausage made out of pork meat and pork fat. Well, despite the idea of vegan chorizo seeming outrageous, this is actually a thing now thanks to Chipotle. The popular American fast-food chain recently presented its new invention in the form of plant-based chorizo and has already started testing the item in select restaurants in Indianapolis and Denver for a limited time.

According to Chipotle, their plant-based chorizo is based on “natural protein sourced from freshly grown peas” and contains a healthy dose of seasoning that includes smoked paprika and ancho chili. The new offering, developed by the company itself, doesn’t contain artificial additives and is gluten-free and soy-free. It also comes with 20g of protein per serving.

This is the first of Chipotle’s first vegan protein options since sofritas, the spicy tofu item that launched back in 2014.

If the plant-based Chorizo ends up having a successful rollout, the chain is expected to make it available nationwide as a regular menu item. Interestingly, it would also be the only chorizo on the menu.

Chipotle introduced the “real” chorizo back in 2016, but the item didn’t prove to be a hit with the customers. It stopped being part of the regular menu a year later and is now being offered occasionally as a limited-time option.

Nachos are one of our favorite snacks to make for parties or simply to snack on during a lazy night at home. If you make this Mexican-inspired dish often, you might find yourself with normal toppings like black beans, shredded chicken, or tomato.

Check out these ideas for unconventional, but genius nacho toppings for the next dish of them you make.

Mushrooms

What’s rich, savory, and takes on the flavor of anything that you cook them in? That’s right, the answer is mushrooms! Try sauteeing them in a spicy Mexican sauce and then throwing them on top of nachos for a tasty treat.

Shrimp and Avocado

Are you a seafood fan who also loves nachos? You should definitely try topping them with a shrimp and avocado mix. Inspiring the flavor of ceviche, it’s a unique twist on a dish that you’ve probably never tried in this way.

Chorizo

Looking for an underappreciated meat to try on your next batch of nachos? How about chorizo, a spicy Mexican sausage that is great when crumbled on top of cheese on top of tortilla chips.

Chorizo and a 🍔 sittin' in a tree… ❤

A post shared by Kailley Lindman Federighi (@kailleyskitchen) on

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chorizo sausage
  • 1 lb ground sirloin
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 3 sliced medium onions
  • 4 large kaiser rolls
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 roasted red pepper cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter
  • 1 chopped medium onion
  • 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 oz grated manchego cheese
  • 1 pinch powdered saffron
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions:

  1. Get a bowl and combine the ground chorizo and ground sirloin together.
  2. Use a skillet to heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook the chopped onion until it becomes soft.
  3. When it’s done, put it in a blender. Also, include the paprika, ranch dressing, red pepper, and saffron to the mix.
  4. Blend the ingredients to get a paste. Place it in the fridge while you’re preparing the rest of the recipe.
  5. Heat the rest of the oil and cook the salt, pepper, onions, and brown sugar together.
  6. After 15 minutes the onions will have a light brown color, that’s when the mixture is done.
  7. Now, get the meat and divide it into four patties. Cook them on the grill for 5 minutes per side.
  8. Get the buns, cut them in half and toast them. Add the patties, caramelized onions, then the ranch sauce.
  9. Top the chorizo burger off with cheese.

One that has always stuck in my mind after visiting Spain is chorizo al infierno, which literally translates to “hell chorizo.”

Chorizo is a type of Spanish sausage that’s made with pork meat and paprika. Cased in animal intestines, it’s known for its delicious, smoky flavor. Normally, it’s served dried or cut into small slices, but chorizo al infierno is totally different.

The preparation of this Spanish classic is performance art. When you’re served this dish, you might wonder why there’s a piece of uncooked, impaled chorizo on a metal rod on top of a plate of clear liquid on your table.

What you’ll see, though, is that your waiter or waitress is going to ignite this clear liquid (a high-grade alcohol that is impossible to drink) and use its flame to cook your chorizo.

After sitting above the ignited alcohol for a few minutes, your chorizo will be crispy and ready to eat. It’s a show and a delicious treat all in one!
