Chorizo in Cider is a classic Asturian dish, seen in many tapas restaurants.
The secret to a tasty chorizo a la sidra is to slowly cook the chorizo in the cider for at least 20 minutes. This ensures the chorizo gets coated in the lovely sweet apple notes of the cider. It is also the ideal tapas dish for a dinner party because you can prepare it in advance. It’s easy to serve and it will be a popular dish with your guests. Don’t forget to serve it with some wooden skewers or toothpicks for a more authentic Spanish feel.
