You will find Chorizo is a popular sausage all over Spain, Mexico, and the Caribbean. If you like chorizo, we think you’ll really enjoy Purnell’s Chorizo Sausage because it’s made from the whole hog using all the good cuts including the hams, loins, bacon and shoulder… it’s buen-ooo!
Chorizo is great by itself or with a heaping helping or Rice and Beans. Check out our Sausage Recipes section for new ideas and here’s a couple of our favorite Choizo Recipes:
Chorizo Pasta
Ingredients:
- One pound Purnell’s Chorizo
- 2 smallish cans chopped tomatoes
- 6 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 can tomato puree
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- mushrooms
- green capsicum, chopped
- Italian herbs (I used the dry variety)
- Pasta of your choice, my favorites are Farfalle (bow tie) and Ziti (tubular) pasta.
How to prepare:
Crumble up the chorizo and place it and the onion and garlic into a large frying pan over low-medium heat. After the chorizo has browned and onion has caramelized, add the tomato puree and chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, Italian herbs, and capsicum.
Let simmer and begin boiling water for your pasta. (Be sure to add a couple of drops of olive oil to the water, it helps make sure the pasta doesn’t stick to the pot).
Bring water to a boil and add pasta to water and when ready, drain pasta into a colander.
When drained, place pasta on a platter or in a bowl and pour chorizo sauce over pasta.
You only need enough chorizo sauce to coat the pasta, you don’t have your pasta swimming in it.
Serve. Can feed between 4 and 6 people depending if you also serve salad and bread.
Chorizo Burritos
Ingredients:
- ½ pound of Purnell’s Chorizo
- 1 tablespoon minced white onion
- 1/2 tablespoon minced green bell pepper
- 4 eggs beaten
- Salt and pepper
- 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 4 slices American cheese
How To Prepare
Preheat a skillet over medium heat and crumble the Chorizo sausage into the pan, then add the onion.
Saute© the sausage and onion for 3 to 4 minutes or until the sausage is browned.
And add the chopped green bell pepper and continue to saute© for 1 minute more.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble the eggs with the sausage and onion and peppers then add a dash of salt and pepper.
Heat up the tortillas by steaming them in the microwave in moist paper towels
Break each slice of cheese in half and position two halves end-to-end in the middle of each tortilla.
To make the burrito, spoon 1/4 of the egg filling onto the cheese in a tortilla and
fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold up about two inches of one end.
Fold over the other side of the tortilla to complete the burrito (one end should remain open). Best served hot with salsa on the side and makes 4 burritos.
