A little chorizo goes a long way. Being smart with this spicy Spanish cured sausage is a fantastic way to add a hearty meatiness to your meals, without using lots of meat. Chorizo is versatile, flavorful and keeps for a long time. Here are a few ideas of how to make chorizo go further and add depth to multiple dishes.

Add Chorizo to Your Bean Stew

Add a little chorizo when you are sautéing your onions to make a bean stew. Beans and chorizo are the perfect combination and adding a little spicy sausage to a tomato-based cannelini bean, butter bean, or black bean stew will elevate your meal to new heights of yumminess!

Make Chorizo & Potato Hash

A potato hash is the perfect savory way to start the day, served with eggs, avocado and your other breakfast favorites. Why not make your potato hash even more indulgent by adding chorizo, bell peppers, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika?

Use Chorizo to Spice Up Your Salad

We all know that the best salads are full of exciting flavors and varied textures. Chorizo is the ideal addition to a heavier grain or legume-based salad and will bring depth to every bite. Chorizo crumbles can also be a tasty topping for lighter green leaves.
