Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds of uncooked chorizo
  • 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
  • 1 cup of red wine
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ cup chopped parsley to serve
  • 1 loaf rustic bread to serve

Instructions

  • Slice the chorizo into ½-inch pieces.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chorizo to the skillet and fry for 2 minutes on each side.
