Chorizo in Honey and Red Wine

This is fantastic either as a tapas dish or as a starter for our Veal recipes. Using dried chorizo is OK but you may prefer to use the small chorizo cooking sausage and chop them roughly.

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
• 1 Onion (or 2 shallots)
• 3 Large Garlic Cloves (or 2 Tablespoons Lazy Garlic)
• 500g of Chorizo (dried or sausages)
• 100ml Red Wine (preferably Spanish!)
• 1 Tablespoon of Clear Honey
• Fresh Parsley

Preparation

• Finely chop the onion
• Finely chop the garlic
• Cut the chorizo into chunks or slice the sausages in half at an angle
• Roughly chop a few tablespoons of the fresh parsley

Method

1. Gently heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the chopped onion until it softens and looks a little transparent (do NOT let it burn or go brown!).
2. Add the garlic and cook for a couple more minutes (it’s OK for the onions to brown very slightly at this point).
3. Add the chorizo to the pan, turn the heat up, and (stirring constantly) get it nice and brown so that the oil is released.
4. Add the wine.
5. Stir in the honey.
6. Cover the pan and cook on a low heat for around 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked through. If the pan looks a bit dry add a couple of tablespoons of hot water.
7. Scatter with the chopped parsely and server immediately with crusty bread and salted butter.
