Campofrio Diced Chorizo

What it is

This is a package of diced cured pork sausage, seasoned with paprika and other spices. It is ready to be added to dishes. The chorizo is typically firm and has a vibrant red color due to the paprika. It is a convenient way to incorporate the distinct flavor of chorizo into various meals without needing to slice it yourself. The diced format makes it easy to measure and distribute evenly.

How people cook with it

Diced chorizo is a versatile ingredient that adds a smoky, spicy flavor and a bit of richness to many dishes. It can be used in both quick weeknight meals and more elaborate preparations.

• Add to pasta sauces
• Stir into scrambled eggs
• Top pizzas
• Mix into rice dishes

To use, simply open the package and add the diced chorizo directly to your cooking. It can be sautéed in a pan to release its oils and develop a slightly crispy texture, or it can be added to simmering dishes like stews, soups, or sauces where it will cook through and infuse its flavor. For a quick addition to breakfast, toss it into scrambled eggs or omelets during the last few minutes of cooking. It also works well as a topping for baked potatoes or as a flavorful component in quesadillas.

How it differs from similar foods

Unlike fresh chorizo, this diced version is cured and pre-cooked, meaning it is shelf-stable and ready to eat. It has a firmer texture and a more concentrated flavor profile compared to raw chorizo, which needs to be fully cooked before consumption and often crumbles when cooked.

Who it is for

Home cooks looking for a quick way to add bold flavor to their meals.

How to keep the rest

After opening, store any unused diced chorizo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should be consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Proper refrigeration is key to preserving its texture and taste.
