cured-meats-chorizo-cooking

Chorizo comes either as a whole cured sausage, ready to slice and eat, or as soft cooking chorizo which must be cooked before eating. Cooking chorizo is softer, moister and more similar to a classic sausage, typically releasing delicious spicy red oil when cooked - delicious with eggs, stirred in paella, or stews with seafood and pulses.

cured-meats-chorizo-cooking

Spanish chorizo is a pork sausage seasoned with Spanish smoked paprika, known as pimentón. It’s typically made with coarsely chopped pork and garlic, and depending on the variety, may also include chilli for heat. The paprika gives chorizo its distinctive smoky flavour and deep red colour.

Cooking chorizo is a fresh, soft sausage that must be cooked before eating. It is moist and similar in texture to a classic British sausage, releasing delicious paprika-infused red oil as it cooks. Cured chorizo, on the other hand, has been air-dried and is ready to eat. It is firm in texture and enjoyed sliced, much like salami.

Brindisa offers a wide selection of traditional, spicy and mini cooking chorizo sausages, suitable for grilling, frying or serving as tapas. From classic Brindisa recipes to regional varieties such as those from Embutidos Alejandro, there is a chorizo to suit every dish.

Yes. All Brindisa own-label chorizo is gluten free. The additive-free range is also free from nitrate.

Cooking chorizo is excellent grilled, fried or barbecued. It also adds depth and richness to bean stews, soups and rice dishes. Slice or crumble it into dishes to allow its paprika oil to flavour the whole pan.

Yes. Cooking chorizo must always be cooked thoroughly before eating. Cured chorizo does not require cooking.

As cooking chorizo cooks, it releases richly flavoured red oil infused with paprika. This oil is full of flavour and perfect for coating vegetables, potatoes or rice.

The defining ingredient is Spanish smoked paprika (pimentón). Garlic is commonly used, and sometimes oregano. Some chorizos are lightly smoked, which enhances their depth of flavour.

All chorizo is flavoured with pimentón (Spanish smoked paprika), but the heat level depends on the variety. Chorizo labelled dulce is mild, while picante varieties are made with hot peppers and have a noticeable kick.

Yes. Alongside cooking and cured chorizo, there is also a range of morcilla and other Spanish cured meats available for online delivery.
