[Intro music]
Choose a soft chorizo sausage for this recipe.
The soft variety usually contains a high
proportion of fat, which makes it very good for cooking.
You can use garlic sausage instead of chorizo.
To make the pan fried chorizo and bread tapas,
you will need chorizo- I chose a mild variety,
crusted bread, olive oil, chopped garlic,
chopped parsley and sweet smoked paprika.
Prepare the chorizo.
Peel it. As the chorizo is smoked, it makes it a little bit harder to peel
rather than raw sausage for instance.
If you leave little bit of casing behind,
not a big deal.
Slice the chorizo into quarter inch slices
Cut the bread into half inch cubes.
So the Spaniards will use whole bread for this recipe
as the bread will be pretty dry, it will absorb all the fat.
That's the idea, but if you don't have whole bread
it's fine to use fresh bread.
Our mise en place is ready.
Let's cook our chorizo and bread.
Heat a large skillet. Add the oil.
You want to have enough oil to cover whole bottom of the pan.
Add the chopped garlic. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds.
Just to have it fragrant and release all the aromas.
Add the chorizo and the bread.
Sauté a little bit.
Cook the bread and the chorizo for about 2-3 minutes
making sure not to burn the garlic.
Sauté to toss the ingredients together.
Add the parsley, the paprika.
And serve.
Clean the plate.
Serve your tapas with toothpicks.
And your guests will pick.
