What it is
This is a raw, seasoned pork sausage. It is typically made with ground pork, a blend of chili peppers, and various spices. The sausage casing is usually removed before cooking, allowing the meat to be crumbled and integrated into dishes. It offers a vibrant red color and a distinct, slightly spicy flavor profile.
How people cook with it

To prepare, remove the sausage from its casing. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo to the hot skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess fat before incorporating it into your chosen recipe.
