Chorizo is a term encompassing several types of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula and known as Chouriço in Portugal, which have in common the use of pimentos to colour them red. It can either be a fresh sausage, in which case it must be cooked, but in Europe it is more frequently a fermented cured sausage, in which case it is usually sliced and eaten without cooking. Spanish chorizo gets its distinctive smokiness and deep red color from Pimentón, smoked Spanish paprika. Read More

CHORIZO
Chorizo is a chile and garlic flavored sausage, much beloved by Mexicans and we of the American Southwest. It was originally derived from the Spanish sausage of the same name, but has evolved over the last few centuries to be distinctly Mexican.


Chorizo is great for breakfast. Thaw out a package, fry it up lightly while breaking it up, and when fried, scramble in a few eggs. This is wonderful by itself, or with tortillas.
