About Chorizo criollo
Chorizo Criollo is a traditional sausage originating from Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Argentina and Uruguay. Made from ground pork, beef, or a combination of both, it's seasoned with a blend of spices such as paprika, garlic, nutmeg, and oregano, which give it its robust, smoky flavor. Often grilled or pan-fried, Chorizo Criollo is a staple at barbecues (asados) and enjoyed for its rich taste and satisfying texture. While it’s a good source of protein and iron, it is also high in saturated fats and sodium due to the meat content and curing process. Moderation is key for incorporating this sausage into a balanced diet. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or whole grains can help offset its less healthy components while allowing you to savor its distinctive flavor.
