Chorizo a la cider, traditional recipe

With this homemade recipe, we will learn step by step how to prepare a Chorizo with cider.We are just going to peel them and then cut them into very thin slices.

Then we go to select a (very) large pan or a good pot to cook. We will let it warm up a little and we will incorporate the chorizos to seal them a bit, from the entrance. Let them cook a couple of minutes, over medium heat, on each side. We can make some pickets with the teeth of a fork, so that they cook better inside.

To continue, we recover the chorizos, and in the same pan we will pour the pieces of garlic. We will sauté them for a minute with the fat that has remained. If you decided not to use garlic, then, skip this step.

Now let's pour the cider in the same pan, with the bay leaves. We will increase the intensity of the fire so that the liquid starts to boil.

Once the cider breaks to a boil, we will add the chorizos. Lower the fire in half and let it cook for half an hour. You will also see how the cider will be reduced.

While our plate is cooking, we can Go arranging a cutting board. This is because after the cooking time, we will take out the chorizos, and chop them into slices a couple of centimeters thick. There is no need to turn off the pot when removing the sausages. We can leave it on low heat.

After cutting it, we will return the chorizo to its sauce of cider. If oil remains on the cutting board, we will also add it to the cooking.

Let the chorizo rehydrate for a few minutes. Then, we will put out the fire.

The ideal is to serve chorizo in cider in clay pots, in traditional style, as the photo shows. If we do not have them, we can look for some similar containers.
