Chorizo is a term encompassing several types of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula and known as Chouriço in Portugal, which have in common the use of pimentos to colour them red. It can either be a fresh sausage, in which case it must be cooked, but in Europe it is more frequently a fermented cured sausage, in which case it is usually sliced and eaten without cooking. Spanish chorizo gets its distinctive smokiness and deep red color from Pimenton, smoked Spanish paprika. Chorizo can be eaten as is (sliced or in a sandwich), simmered in sidra (apple cider), barbecued or fried. Like breakfast sausage, it is used as an ingredient of other dishes. It also can be used as a partial replacement for ground beef or pork.

pork sausage
here is a link to making it yourself. Even if you don't want to, it will give you a better idea of all the different things people put in theirs! I love it and you can't make many Spanish, s. American dishes without it. Readily available in most supermarket. You may get it fresh, call a pork shop or local butcher. Look in the are where you fine, peperoni, Sopreset, Kielbasa, etc.
ENJOY! Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

It's pork sausage. Often a deep red colour from the pimentos and paprika that are used to flavour the meat.

Actually I am positive it's Portuguese sausage. It is pork. If it's brown in color it's pork based. If it's black in color then it's blood sausage. I am a 32 year old woman and born and raised in Portugal and I am positive that's what it is. I hope this helps you.
