A Little Background
The Spanish Chorizo sausage (pronounced cho-ree-tho) has to be one of the finest sausages to come out of Europe. You will find that depending on how long the meat has dried that some chorizo will be very spicy while others, if they are quite young will be rather mild. Chorizo can be eaten raw but it has a relatively high fat content and lends itself best to being cooked. The cooking allows the smoky paprika and beautiful spices to permeate the whole sausage, sauce, pizza or whatever you've put the chorizo in or on. As in this recipe whenever I saute chorizo I keep the fat that comes out in the pan and save it for flavouring egg dishes or sauteing mushrooms in.
