What is Spanish chorizo?

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.

Does cooking chorizo need to be cooked before eating?

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

What is the difference between cooking chorizo and cured chorizo?

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.

What does cooking chorizo release when cooked?

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.

What can I cook with cooking chorizo?

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.

What varieties of cooking chorizo are available?

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.
