Chorizo

Who doesn't love sausage? Chorizo, the Mexican version, is a deep-burnt-reddish explosion of fresh, moist, exotically seasoned flavor. When it's fried, it becomes crisp and incredibly savory. This episode will explore the difference between Mexican chorizo sausage and its Spanish, Central American and South American cousins. Recipes will include: Warm Sweet Potato and Chorizo Salad; Potato, Scallion and Chorizo Crispy Tacos; Pasta with Tomato and Chorizo.
