“anyone know how to use dried spanish chorizo?
i got some a few weeks ago thinking i could cook with it, not realizing it was a dried, cured meat. didn’t taste so good plain though.”
First thing, it’s referred to as ‘chorizo’ since all chorizo is dried. Don’t sound like a moonface, lol.
It’s the meat in a Latin breakfast, is one thing. Fry it over low heat for a few minutes and it will soften up. Serve with eggs and fried platanos.
You can also substitute it for pancetta in pasta recipes, if you don’t overdo it (it helps to use strong flavors like tomato sauces). Not sure if benson will approve, however.
You can also use it in bean dishes… anything where you want to add a nice smoky flavor.
And stay away from Goya chorizos. Like most of the shit they foist off on poor people, it’s full of preservatives, dyes, and crap. Read the ingredients.
Having dinner tonight with two friends from high school. Both are single females; one’s Indian and the other is Jewish (yes, I realize I’m mixing nationalities and religion).
mopar, I wish you would have told me before! M4L, it’s all your fault.
Double fried pork turned out to be bacon. The dish was slices of bacon with chilies over some leeks. Now I’m not a man to worry too much about his fat intake, but that was GROSS.
Desis are hot.
