Ingredients

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.
