About Sausage, pork, chorizo, link or ground, cooked, pan-fried
Chorizo is a heavily seasoned pork sausage, deep red from paprika or chillies and loaded with garlic and spice. Whether the firm cured Spanish style or the soft fresh Mexican kind cooked from raw, it brings a punch of flavor and color to anything it touches.
It's a rich, indulgent food: high in fat and calories, and — as a seasoned, often cured sausage — high in sodium too, while still supplying protein and some B vitamins and zinc from the pork. The fat carries much of the spice, which is exactly why a little chorizo flavors a whole pan of rice, beans or eggs.
Treated as a seasoning meat rather than a main event, a small amount goes a remarkably long way.
