Let’s cook chorizo al vino blanco | Chorizo in white wine

On By NoémiIn Tapas

I’ve seen a bunch of you asking for quick and easy Spanish tapas recipes in the comments so…

… ask and you shall receive!

Let’s explore the tastes of Spain, one tapa at a time – … and today, the tapas party continues with our next dish: Chorizo al Vino Blanco.
It’s literally just chorizo sausage simmered in rich, garlick-y white wine, but somehow this combo turns into something waaay more than you think…. – the smoky chorizo soaks up the wine, deepens the flavour, and gets all juicy and tender.

Juicy slices of chorizo in a light white wine sauce, served in a rustic tapas dish with pieces of bread on the side, all set on a colorful Spanish tiled table.

The dish is super popular all over Spain in tapas bars, served with a chunk of bread on the side to dip-dip into all that sauce….

Ingredients:

  • 300 g chorizo
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 2 – ∞ garlic cloves
  • Bay leaves
  • A splash of olive oil

⏱️ prep time: 5 minutes
⏱️ cooking time: 15-20 minutes

  • First things first, let’s slice the chorizo into thick pieces.
  • Heat up the pan with a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook both sides of the chorizo, and let it sweat – no need to crunch it up.

  • Optional step incoming since the original recipe doesn’t contain garlic…
    BuuuUuuUuut if you want an extra kick of flavour, then just crush 1-2 cloves of garlic and add it to the pan – let it sizzle, but don’t let it brown too much.
  • Also, add a bay leaf or two.

  • Serve it hot, with plenty of bread for dipping – duh.

  5. Your blog has a sleek and professional look -visually appealing with graphics that are spot on. As for the recipe, the dish looks mouthwatering, and your instructions are wonderfully clear and easy to folloiw. I’m intrigued a d definitely want to give it a try! That said, I am not a big meat eater, do you think a freshwater fish could work as a substitute for the chorizo? And for my family, I am curious about your thoughts on using bratwurst instead.i”d love to hear how flexible you think the dish might be with these variations.
