Chorizo a la Sidra
Chorizo Cooked in Cider

From the author:
"Traditional Spanish cooking is uncomplicated most of the time as it basically relies upon premium quality ingredients. Like good chorizo. Chorizo a la sidra, or chorizo cooked in cider, is one of the simplest tapas and simplest pairings you can find, fine charcuterie fried in good virgin olive oil and then stewed in cider until the liquid is reduced and the slight sweetness of the drink infuses the chorizo. This is a tapa that originates in the northern region of Asturias, a lusciously green, misty and humid area..."

Ingredients:

1 good quality chorizo sausage
1 cup natural cider
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Preparation:
Slice the chorizo into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
Pour the oil into a skillet and heat on medium. Add the chorizo slices and fry until they change color, but don’t overdo it.

Add the cider and toss to coat the chorizo. Boil for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by one fourth.

Serve with bread in small bowls while still warm, though chorizo a la sidra can also be served at room temperature too.

This is DEFINITELY on my list, as soon as I make my own chorizo - hopefully this spring.
