How to Use / Preparation

Quick Pan-Fried Tapas (5 minutes)

1. Slice the chouriço into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
2. Heat a dry skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add chorizo slices in a single layer—no oil needed, the fat will render.
4. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until edges crisp and fat is golden.
5. Transfer to a warm plate and serve immediately with crusty bread.

Traditional Chouriço Assado (Table-Side, 3-5 minutes)

1. Place the whole sausage on a traditional clay terracotta chorizo dish (or small baking vessel).
2. Add 2-3 tablespoons of aguardente (Portuguese brandy) or other strong alcohol around the sausage.
3. Carefully ignite the alcohol at the table—the flame will grill the exterior.
4. Let the sausage blister and char until aromatic and heated through.
5. Extinguish flame and slice immediately.

For Stews and Casseroles

1. Slice the sausage into rounds or chunks.
2. Add directly to simmering stews, bean dishes, or rice preparations.
3. The fat and spice infuse throughout the dish (great for paella, feijoada, or traditional Spanish bean stew).

Cold Serving

1. Slice thin and arrange on a charcuterie board.
2. No cooking required—serve at room temperature alongside cheeses and olives.

Serving Suggestions

Build a Spanish tapas platter with sliced Sol Mar Chouriço paired with Diatosta 350g toasted bread, Cantoliva Azeitona Preta Inteira 210g whole black olives, and Cantoliva Azeitona Verde Descarocada 210g pitted green olives for a complete spread. Add sliced Spanish Manchego cheese and you've got an authentic Spanish experience.

Toss sliced, pan-fried chorizo into pasta dishes with garlic, tomato, and olive oil for a spicy Spanish twist. The rendered fat becomes a natural sauce.

Stir chorizo rounds into traditional stews, bean dishes, or paella to add warmth and complexity. Pair with Ferbar Colorau Extra Paprika 530g for layered paprika depth.

Serve with crusty Spanish bread, olives, pickles, and a glass of Spanish wine for an effortless appetizer that feels special.
