Chorizo al Vino Tinto

 

Chorizo al Vino Tinto

1 small yellow onion or a large shallot chopped fine
1 large clove of garlic minced well
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound chorizo, skin removed and sliced
3/4 cup red wine
3 tablespoons honey
salt, pepper, dried thyme, dried ground rosemary to taste

Basically this is a Spanish tapas dish; it's chorizo slices cooked in red wine to make a reduced sauce. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Add sliced chorizo and cook till slightly browned on both sides. Add wine and spices and cook till wine reduces. When sauce is reduced add the honey to further reduce and thicken the sauce. Serve with crusty bread or over rice or pasta. Very rich and delicious, so dark in color some folks might be put off by the color, not us.
