Preparing Chorizo Recipes Is A Favorite With Many People

By Doug Spain


A favorite staple food in many countries is the chorizo sausage. Chorizo recipes are used all over the globe, and some people wouldn't think of having a meal without including this sausage on the menu. Chorizo is a Spanish word, and Spain has been given the credit for creating this tasty meat mixture.

Although the creation of this tasty sausage had its beginnings in Spain, other countries adopted this pork mixture, making slight changes based upon what was available locally. Different spices and flavorings were sometimes used, where paprika was not a common spice. When meat of any kind needed to be preserved, the spices available to the people were added. They all seemed to retain the reddish color of the original recipe.

Breakfast from Portugal, France, Mexico and even the United States, add eggs to this meat meal, in the form of either scrambled or fried, to complete a much-loved combination. This spicy sausage is served in crumbled form as well as sliced. People of other countries, such as the Philippines and many parts of South America, also find the sausage especially appealing at breakfast.

Hundreds of recipes are available using this sausage as the main ingredient, because of the great taste it adds to almost any meal. Fast food chains are even starting to use this sausage for special pizzas and some are making tacos. With its great taste and this sausage's popularity, you just may start seeing many menus with a dish featuring the sausage.

Chorizo is made in two ways, either soft or hard. It may be found in food stores everywhere in at least one of these forms. The soft mix is used mainly as an ingredient in recipes. Many slice and serve the hard sausage as a favorite snack. Obviously, the hard type has been cured, so is completely to safe for consumption without cooking.

Especially tasty are the ways in which chorizo is used with tortillas and cheese, in a type of taco. It is also often combined with beans in casseroles. Serve it with steamed clams or prepare a stew and add cod. Mixing it with any other meat stretches the use of that meat and adds a unique flavor.

The history of chorizo is an interesting story. When on the Internet, looking for recipes in which this mixture is featured, check out how it came to be created in the first place. You will find that it was originally a simple way to preserve the meat so it would not spoil during the long winters. In America, "minced meat" was a favorite of the pioneers. This was a rather sweet concoction, but it served to mask the rancid taste of spoiled meat, when there was nothing else to eat.

Many menus now feature quite a few dishes using chorizo recipes from the past and present. All are good, and one favorite seems to be breakfast with eggs and chorizo. If you haven't tried this wonderful sausage, then the next time you have an opportunity to sit down in a restaurant that has chorizo recipes on the menu, be brave and order something. You may thoroughly enjoy it.
