Method

Slice the chorizo

Cut the Spanish Fresh Chorizo into thick 1–1.5 cm slices or bite-size chunks. Keeping them on the thicker side helps them stay juicy while they cook.

Warm the pan

Set a wide skillet over medium heat and add the Olive Oil. Let it warm until it shimmers and lightly coats the bottom, about 2 minutes.

Brown the chorizo

Add the chorizo in a single layer. Cook for 3 minutes without moving it so the underside browns, then turn the pieces and cook for 3 minutes more until they pick up color and start releasing some red-orange fat.

Simmer in cider

Pour in the Sidra Natural and scrape up the browned bits from the pan. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then cook for 7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the chorizo is cooked through and the liquid has reduced to a glossy sauce that lightly coats it.

Serve hot

Transfer the chorizo and cider sauce to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over the top. Serve immediately while it’s hot and juicy.
