Of all the culinary treats the Spanish have given the world over the years, few can hold a candle to the popularity of chorizo. The paprika- and garlic-flavoured cured sausage is a staple in our shopping baskets these days, sliced up for everything from sandwiches to stews.
Chorizo isn’t just loved because it tastes good on its own; its ability to infuse sauces with its wonderful flavour makes it a fantastic ingredient to cook with. As its oils render into a pan, they imbue everything else in there with a lovely red colour, spreading flavours of garlic, pimentón and pork throughout. These rich flavours are exactly what we crave when autumn and winter set in, and our appetites turn towards stews, braises and hearty, satisfying plates of food. That’s why we’ve rounded up eight incredible recipes to cook during the colder months – take a look and make this week’s dinner plan as tasty as it can be.
