Choritzo..

[lannyman8]

slice or dice as you like, seal in a hot pan then reduce the heat to render all the fat, remove from the pan add olive oil or lardey butter for a treat and melt/heat, add some pre cooked pasta or noodles stir in the meat and serve.

of course you can add any veg you wish, or use rice, or just the veg and meat, bung some garlic or herbs in for another variation....

quick easy cheep meal...

nom nom nom...

I never do anything as fancy as that with mine. I just slice it, blast it on a very hot frying pan, then cook smoked bacon in its lovley red fat. Maybe fry an egg or two. Then just encase in bread with brown sauce.

This thread is making me hungry!

Looked at some in Walmart tonight for tomorrows BBQ but decided on steaks instead. That said as regards the choritzo, grill it on the BBQ, put iit on a hot dog bun, add condiments and relish of your choice, serve with a side of cold potato salad and sweetened iced tea.

Chop a coupla inches as fine as you can, chop half a small onion equally fine. Add to half a pint of cold water, bring to boil & simmer for 5'. Stir in 2oz instant porridge. For a treat also stir in an oz or 2 of chopped/grated cheese.

Thankfully I'm off for lunch

Quick lunch
Put pasta on to boil, while cooking dice Choritzo and fry with mushrooms, garlic and onions, add passata, basil or coriander, reduce sauce, drain pasta and add your cooked mix; stir, serve and enjoy. 30 minutes tops

Camping cheat: Use packet tomato soup using slightly less water than stated on the instructions for a thicker sauce, dried mushrooms and onions, garlic powder and dried herbs plus instead of pasta use instant noodles. Put mushrooms and onions to soak while you setup your tent/shelter and its still a quick meal.

I discovered this on a recent trip too, adding a tomato cup-a-soup to a pretty bland pasta dish really gave it some life, a dash of Lea & Perrins helps too.

Cup O Soup is useful to have, Oxtail flavour makes a cheats gravy, helps thicken stew or broth etc although I would use the big packets of dried soup for this if cooking for more than me.

Ian mentioned porridge and it reminded me of my re-found love of Semolina. There is more to this childhood favourite than you may think, not just sweet dishes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semolina So you could use it like you would Polenta and serve with your choritzo and tomato sauce Not tried but I will.

Read the article and next time an American goes on about 'Cream of Wheat' you'll know what he's on about.

I had choritzo this morning for breakfast, onions and mushrooms fried with choritzo and then egg poured in, cooked both sides, seasoned and scoffed very yummy

This morning I sat under our apricot and cherry trees eating some raw Hungarian choritzo for breakfast (with a little bread and strong black coffee).

I use the Cuppa type Dried pasta pouches comes in a number of flavours, tip in water, chop some sausage.... the heat, 5 mins..... a nice warm light meal...

 

[rik_uk3]

I'm in Cardiff in the morning and will stock up on choritzo and kabanos. Had bratwurst from Lidl this morning with grilled toms and eggs which was nice.

Another little tip, buy choritzo in the pre (thin) sliced packs and cook in a dry pan 'American bacon' style until crisp, goes really well with scrambled eggs.

My kind of breakfast

 

[santaman2000]

Saw some in the commissary today with no casing; just choritzo meat in a plastic wrapper like patty sausage (never seen choritzo like that before) I may have to try that one day. Probably slice it and fry it like patty sausage.

have you guys ever heard of linguiça? (if that doesn't come out right, it's sort of pronounced linguísa) Its sort of the same as choriço (or choritzo), but it is thinner and completely fine to eat raw

 

[santaman2000]

I've heard of "linquini" but that's a type of pasta. Whatever it is, it probably isn't really raw but rather comes cooked as part of the process; like some American smoked sausages.

 

[S.C.M.]

hmm, yeah "raw" isn't the right word at all... it's lovely sliced and fried though - it sort of "mushrooms" out at both ends. I shall look about for some pics

gah, Google is useless for linguiça pics
