SPANISH BAKED RICE WITH CHICKPEAS, POTATOES AND CHORIZO - What kind of chorizo?

Amy P. (Q&A ID 16693)

Hi there,

Question regarding this recipe - SPANISH BAKED RICE WITH CHICKPEAS, POTATOES AND CHORIZO: Is this recipe designed for smoked Spanish chorizo or fresh? I have checked several butchers in my area and can only find the smoked, shelf-stable variety. Can I use that in this recipe?

Thanks,

Amy

Hi Amy -

Spanish chorizo in this country is sold cured and smoked so, yes, that is correct. In this recipe, we are slicing and cooking in order to release some of the oil from the chorizo, which helps flavor the dish. Hope that helps!
