Preparation of Iberian Chorizo in Wine

Ingredients

• ½ piece of Iberian chorizo
• 10 gr. of Provencal herbs or bay leaves
• 200 ml. of white wine
• 50 ml. of water
  
  

Recipe Steps

1. The first thing you need to do is take the chorizo out of its casing and cut it in half. Then, place it in a pot and cover it with the spices.
2. Turn the heat to low and let it cook for a couple of minutes to release all its flavor and absorb the flavors of the spices.
3. Cover the chorizo with wine and water and increase the heat to bring it to a boil.
4. Cover the pot, lower the heat again, and let it simmer gently for about 35 minutes. Occasionally, poke the chorizo to check its doneness. Stir every ten minutes to allow the sausage to release all its juices.
5. Carefully remove the two halves from the pot, slice them into approximately one-centimeter thick rounds, and place them back in the pan. Let the chorizo rest inside for a few minutes with the heat turned off.
6. To finish, all you have to do is serve it. To make the presentation more appealing, serve it in small clay pots, and you'll see how elegant it looks. Your tapa today will be loved by everyone!
