A way to enhance this already flavour-packed chorizo is to poach it in cider, a tapa originating from Asturias. For a twist on this recipe, use Chistorra, a long, thin version of chorizo from the Basque Country. Cut it into pieces about two centimetres long and fry over a medium heat until the skin changes colour. Pour in enough cloudy cider to cover the chistorra and let it simmer. The longer you cook it, the more glaze-like the sauce texture will be. Serve with plenty of bread; your guests will want to mop up every drop of the sauce.
Method:
Serve hot, with lots of bread on the side to mop up the sauce.
