Ingredients
- 300 grams chorizo sausage (smoked or semi-cured)
- 250 milliliters dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chorizo into 1-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the sliced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the sliced chorizo to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to release its oils and slightly crisps up on the edges.
Step 6
Pour the red wine into the pan and add the bay leaf.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let the chorizo cook in the wine for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine reduces and slightly thickens into a sauce.

Step 9
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm with crusty bread for dipping.
