Lightly fried with some thick chunks of panchetta or smoked bacon in a little oil/butter - serve with boiled pots - pouring the delicious oil over the spuds MMMmmmmmmm

The Hungarian equivalent to Chorizo is Kolbász, they are very similar, in fact the Hungarian Mangaliza pig is very popular in Spain.

Here are some hanging in my family larder...

Often these are eaten uncooked with bread and perhaps some paprika or onion and plum brandy. However my favorite cooked meal would be Rakott Krumpli, this is essentially a casserole dish containing potatoes, lots of eggs, kolbász, onions and sour cream.

You can watch someones grandmother prepare the dish here (in English)

Someone once described Chorizo as the duct tape of the food world, as it'll fix anything. I love it!

 

[spandit]

I never know if it's pronounced "choritzo", "choreezo" or "choreetho"

 

[dwardo]

What is the proper way to store it? I assumed being a cured meat just dry and "airy" However when i find it in tesco it is always in the fridge??

Love it in stews/kebab or just sizzed and eated off the end of yer knife.

It depends on where the Spanish speaker is from. Pure Castillian would be the last option as the 'z' is pronounced more like the 'th' in English. In Latin America the second option would be nearer to correct. There the 'z' is more like an 's'.

Or so my Spanish other half tells me.

The Spanish would usually hang it somewhere cool and dry. In Britain this may be a bit of an issue as there tends to be more humidity. Either way you need to watch out for oil drips. Paprika stains are beasts to shift.

First time i tasted it was in jambalaya, now i'm hooked on it.

I can vouch for her regarding Latin America.

Bought some in Spain the other day. Thought I'd have a chunk before bed. Didn't realise until the next day that it was uncooked... No ill effects, though
