Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and fry for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Add the wine, garlic, and bay leaves and bring to the boil. Swirl to dissolve any sediment from the chorizo, and reduce the heat. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the wine has reduced to a thick sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the chorizo and sauce immediately in small bowls with the sliced bread.

Notes

  • Keep any fat that the chorizo renders in the pan; it will add a wonderful flavor to the sauce.
  • This dish is great as a tapa or light main course, especially when served with lots of sliced fresh bread.
