Chorizo with seafood! a bright combination that will please

Chorizo [tariama čiorizo], a Spanish sausage flavored with red pepper powder, or nduja [tariasi en’dūja] Italian, usually much softer, easily spread on bread with paprika, often used in the Mediterranean region to add flavor and richness. And dishes with seafood – squid, cuttlefish, shrimp are no exception. The Spanish call such combinations el mar y la tierra (sea and land), the Catalans say mar y montaña – the sea and the mountain, and in English-speaking countries you will see the menu – surf and turf (surf – to swim, and turf is turf, a layer of grass with roots) – the idea is the same, something from the sea with something from the land. clams, cod and other fish dishes are prepared with chorizo, and I have already listed how to make hearty and really very tasty large ones shrimp dish, and now I’m sharing a squid with chorizo recipe.

I find this dish delicious and very casual. It’s quick and easy to make, so it’s perfect for an everyday lunch or dinner.

So, we will need

Tools: sharp knife, cutting board, containers for prepared ingredients, spatula for mixing, large non-stick frying pan.

Ingredients: olive oil, I use extra virgin; several scallions, peeled and cut lengthwise into four parts; several cloves of garlic, finely chopped; chorizo sausages, if the skin comes off, remove it, cut it into slices or cubes; peppers, any color is suitable; small cherry tomatoes, they need to be washed and dried, if you poke a small hole in each one or cut them in half, they will cook faster; squid If you use frozen ones, thaw them beforehand and dry them well with a paper towel, then cut them into thin rings. If you want a heartier meal, you can cut a few mashed potatoes (try accelerated cooking in the microwave, heat a small potato for two minutes, then turn it over and leave it for another couple of minutes).

We produce

Heat a pan with oil. Add onions and fry until soft.

Add the garlic, and after half a minute, add the chorizo, paprika, potatoes and tomatoes, cover the pan and sauté for 8-10 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked.

Add the squid and fry for another three to four minutes, the squid should be white, cooked but not overcooked.

Add the parsley and serve in bowls. Serve with your favorite light bread.
