- 1 cup Asturian natural cider
- 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Slice the chorizo into 1/2 inch slices and set aside.
- Heat the virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chorizo slices to the skillet and fry until they change color, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the Asturian natural cider and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat and let the chorizo stew in the cider until the liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, about 10-12 minutes.

Notes
Use high-quality chorizo and cider for the best flavor. Asturian cider is traditional, but any natural cider will work. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce, a practice known as ‘mojar’ in Spanish. This dish pairs well with a good glass of red wine or cider.
