Pickled Chorizo

Pickled chorizo is a harmonious blend of acid and fat that makes something more than the sum of its parts. The sweetness of the vinegars helps balance the heady spice blend of Spanish chorizo. It’s wonderful folded into a ragout of chickpeas or giant lima beans. Pickled chorizo is an intriguing note with marinated raw seafood. It’s delicious as an ingredient in soups and stews, softening the texture of the chorizo and permeating the liquid with its flavor. The resulting vinegar is a wonderful ingredient on its own, for salads and sauces, where that meaty, spicy note helps bring everything else into focus.
