Tapas Series: Sautéed Chorizo in Red Wine

Here is another dish I cooked for my tapas night with my good friend, Anj, and also for my parents when I went to visit them in France last month.

I love chorizo, it's just so yummy and moorish and has the perfect amount of spice to it!

The red wine sauce is nice and sticky and the entire dish is so full of flavour! All the dishes I made worked really well together and I just really love sharing food, and the idea of having lots of little amounts of different meals....I always end up eating myself into a food coma though!!

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 500g cooking chorizo, cut into chunky slices if large, who left whole if small
• 100ml red wine (don't scrimp and buy cheap wine to cook with!!)
• 1tbsp clear honey
• handful fresh parsley, chopped

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gentle sauté the onion for a few minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further two minutes.

Push the onion and garlic to the side of the pan then add the chorizo. Brown all over, then add the wine and stir in the honey.

Cover and cook gently for 5 minutes or until the sausages are cooked through and coated with the sauce. Add a splash of water if the pan is looking dry. Serve scattered with parsley and some crusty bread to soak up the beautiful sauce!
