Time 16m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

150 g chorizo sausage
150 ml red wine

Steps:

Simply cut the chorizo sausage into 1cm discs, put it in a small saucepan, pour over just enough wine to cover & put the lid on. Bring to the boil & simmer for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, cool, leave for 24 hours them simply re-heat.
You can also make this much healthier by removing the orange fat from the chorizo before you re-heat.
I serve this with crusty garlic bread & other tapas - if you have any wine liquid remaining, it's a fab base for a tomato sauce for potatoes to go with your tapas.
Enjoy - this really is so simple, yet so tasty!
