Red-Wine & Honey Glazed Chorizo Recipe

Neutral oil, we used avocado oil
¾ cup full-bodied red wine, we used Tempranillo
2 tablespoons honey
1 package Chorizo Sausage, sliced about ½-inch thick

In a small bowl, whisk together wine and honey; set aside.

In a large skillet, heat about a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and sauté until browned, about 3 minutes. Carefully pour in wine/honey mixture. Raise heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 3-5 minutes. Serve chorizo on a warmed platter with cocktail sticks.

How We Make Our Chorizo Sausage

We use heritage-breed pork to make our all-natural chorizo because when you start with the best ingredients, you get the best results.

This Iberian-style chorizo sausage is spicy and garlicky, with a bold smoky flavor from paprika, which also imparts a gorgeous red color. We make it by hand, in small batches with all-natural ingredients. No nitrates or nitrites are used; instead, we rely on celery powder, which acts as a preservative.

Chorizo is fully cooked, so it’s ready to serve and enjoy in a variety of recipes. You’ll want to try it in just about everything.
