M&S Food Spanish Diced Chorizo 130g
What it is
This is a pack of pre-diced Spanish chorizo, a type of cured pork sausage seasoned with paprika. It is typically made from pork and pork fat, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and other spices. The chorizo is cured, meaning it has been preserved through salting and drying. The diced format makes it convenient for immediate use in various dishes, saving preparation time.
How people cook with it
Diced chorizo adds a rich, smoky, and slightly spicy flavor to a wide range of meals.
- Added to pasta sauces
- Mixed into scrambled eggs
- Topped on pizzas
- Stirred into stews
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 flavorful oils, which can then be used as a base for sauces or to cook other ingredients. It can also be added towards the end of cooking in stews or casseroles to infuse its taste. When fried, it develops a slightly crispy texture, enhancing its appeal in dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh chorizo, this is a cured product, meaning it is already preserved and ready to eat without further cooking, though cooking enhances its flavor and texture. The paprika content gives it a distinct smoky and savory profile that differentiates it from other cured sausages.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to easily incorporate authentic Spanish flavors into their everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any unused chorizo in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days to maintain its freshness and flavor. Ensure it is kept chilled to prevent spoilage.
