Goikoa Chorizo, Not Spicy, Ready to Eat or Cook, 7.4 oz

Description

Chorizo is the flavor base of a hundred Spanish dishes, from fabada to lentejas. This is Goikoa’s classic chorizo: pork seasoned with pimentón (Spanish paprika) and garlic, cured until firm, with no heat at all. It comes as two links tied with string, ready to slice and eat, and it is the one we reach for when we cook at home: it perfumes a dish without overpowering it.

In the pan the fat melts into a red, paprika-scented oil that coats everything it touches. The meat stays tender and the flavor mellows into a savory, smoky depth. Use it in lentil stews, cooked white beans, paella, potato and chorizo soups or fried eggs. It is also good in a bocadillo with roasted peppers.

How to serve. Slice it thin and serve at room temperature as a tapa. To cook, slice into rounds, brown in a dry pan for two minutes, then add to beans, lentils, rice or potatoes. For a quick tapa, simmer the slices in cider for 10 minutes until the liquid reduces to a glaze.

Storage. No refrigeration needed before opening: keep it in a cool, dry place. Once opened, wrap it tightly, refrigerate and use within three weeks. It can also be frozen.

Pairing. Young red wine or cider. Serve the finished dish with bread and a simple green salad.
