Chorizo al Vino
Pan
serves 4
Chorizo al Vino is a simple but flavour-packed Spanish tapa where sliced chorizo is cooked in red wine until the sauce reduces and clings to every piece.
It is quick to prepare, perfect for sharing, and ideal with crusty bread to soak up the smoky wine reduction.
5 mins prep15 mins cook20 mins total
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a tiny splash of olive oil only if your chorizo is very lean.
Add sliced chorizo and cook for 2–3 minutes until it starts to release oils.
Pour in red wine and add bay leaf if using.
Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until the wine reduces to a glossy, lightly thickened sauce.
Remove bay leaf, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve hot with crusty bread.
Keep cooking
