How do you serve Chorizo sausage?

Question

We love them and I would like some new ideas for cooking them.

Answer 1

Chorizo Enchiladas:

1¼ hours 45 min prep
4 servings

1 lb chorizo sausage (mild)
1 green pepper
1 jalapeno pepper
1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
8 large flour tortillas
pasta sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 cup salsa
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 cups beef broth

#1 Remove sausages from casings. Finely chop jalapeno pepper. Dice green pepper.
#2 Fry sausages and peppers until peppers are limp and meat is thoroughly cooked. You may add 1/2 cup of water and cook on medium until water has evaporated.
#3 Take a tortilla, cover 2/3 of it lightly with the shredded mozerella cheese, then roll up the tortilla and place it in the casserole pan. Continue until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
#4 In a small saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.
#5 Cover with Red Enchilada sauce, making sure each enchilada is thoroughly coated. Cover the whole casserole with grated cheddar cheese. Put the casserole in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese melts and the sauce is bubbling.

***Or you can always just make Chorizo with some cut up potatos yum thats what i had for dinner well, made some burriots and they were good.

Answer 2

it's 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 dried, smoked red peppers (pimenton) 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 Pimentón, 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.

Answer 3

Try grill them until they are about 25% charred on the outside, then slice on a angle very thin. Once you have done that make a pizza dough, add a simple tom sauce with olive oil and shallots, then sprinkle fresh mozza and provolone and top with sausage. Bake in oven and then top with fresh basil leaves when it is served. Our make a tomato based sauce with penne and tear chunks of sausage up and add with olive oil, chili flakes and S+P.

Answer 4

There is so much you can do with chorizo its not funny, pizza, spring rolls, pasta, eggs, stuff it in some pork, meat balls made with chorizo let you imagination go wild it is a wonderful ingredient

Answer 5

Chorizo's strong flavour makes it a good accompaniment to something cheap and bland, like bread, tortillas, polenta or rice. It's an interesting topping for pizzas and in paella.

Answer 6

SOYRIZO (VEGGIE VERSION) IS NASTY WITH A CAPITAL "N"...I bought some thinking it was a sort of veggie polish sausage or veggie garlic knocker...when i went to cut it in half to fit in the skillet all the "chili" came out and it looked like poo...and I didn't know that the plastic holder is not edible...almost would have eaten it had I not been grossed out and surprised that it was not a veggie sausage...

Answer 7

saute onions, peppers, garlic and chorizo together for about 5 minutes
then add tomatoes---simmer for 15 minutes
add eggs and cook for another 10 minutes then add cheese
serve with rice, beans and tortillas

Answer 8

cut up and put in with my scrambled eggs...YUM! Then a couple of avocado slices and some salsa on the side with cheese over the eggs. Always a hit.

Answer 9

Sometimes I add it to tomato based sauce for pasta. Sometimes I just eat it with cheese and biscuits as a snack. My husband likes it in his sandwiches!

Answer 10

You can make an omelet with it, like the Spanish. Very good
