Description
A delightful spring tapa – tender grilled asparagus paired with flavorful Spanish chorizo sausage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
- 3/4 cup Spanish chorizo sausage, sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Large granule sea salt to sprinkle
Instructions
Sear the Chorizo in Olive Oil
Warm 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced Spanish chorizo sausage to the skillet, cook for about 5 minutes until slightly browned.
Add the Asparagus and Finish with Sea Salt
Add the asparagus, trimmed from their bottoms, and cook until browned on both sides.
Stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes so the chorizo flavors blend with the asparagus as the fat releases from them.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with large granule sea salt, and serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to use Spanish chorizo, not Mexican.
