Description
Cured chorizo (mild) is a type of Spanish sausage made from ground pork, seasoned primarily with paprika (pimentón), garlic, and salt. The curing process transforms the sausage into a firm, ready-to-eat product with a deep, savory flavor. The mild version uses sweet paprika (pimentón dulce) rather than spicy varieties, which gives it a balanced flavor without the heat found in spicier versions of chorizo.Cured chorizo has a firm, almost chewy texture, which makes it ideal for slicing thinly.Thinly sliced cured chorizo is a staple of Spanish tapas. It can be served on its own or paired with cheeses, olives, or crusty bread.It works well on a charcuterie board, especially when combined with other Spanish meats.Some modern takes on paella slices of cured chorizo for smoky flavor, although this is not traditional.
