Traditionally, it uses natural casings made from intestines, a method used since Roman antiquity. In Europe, chorizo is a fermented, cured, smoked sausage, which may be sliced and eaten without cooking, or added as an ingredient to add flavour to other dishes.
- Slice in the chorizo quite thick, fry it on in the pan with a small bit of oil. Add some lemon juice and garlic and you have an excellent tapas side dish, serve it with some salsa and enjoy.
- If you like spice again in a pan with a small bit of oil, cut the chorizo into chunks this time and fry it off with some mushrooms 1 tsp of paprika , 1 tsp of chilli powder they will both flavour the oil and you have another side dish, if you really wanted to go over the top spice add some fresh red chilli.
