4 chorizo sausages (about 1/2 pound)
2 green apples, peeled and cut into 1/2" slices
1 cup hard apple cider

Place chorizo and apple slices in a large skillet.
Add 1/2 cup of the cider.
Cover and cook 15 minutes, adding the rest of the liquid a little at a time as the liquid evaporates.
Slice the chorizo and serve with the apples and sauce.

The dish can be prepared in advance, but is best served within 1 hour of preparation because the apples look and taste fresher.



The article suggests that you could substitute Kielbasa or Italian sausage. Oh, heresy!

This recipe comes from an article by Cathy Thomas, "Going totally tapas: appetizers as main event", in the Orange County Register, although the copy I read was picked up by the Star-Ledger (Newark, New Jersey), August 23, 1995.

Original source: Penelope Casas, "The Foods and Wines of Spain" (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1983).

El plato puede estar preparado por adelantado, pero es mejor servido dentro de una hora de la preparación porque las manzanas miran y prueban más frescas.

El "chorizo a la sidra" es una comida muy habitual en las "espichas" o en otro tipo de celebraciones donde se reune mucha gente pero jamás en toda mi vida he visto comer los chorizos a la sidra con manzanas. Quizás sea la costumbre en alguna zona, aunque lo dudo mucho, intentaré informarme


Translation by Bob

Chorizo (Asturian sausage) in cider is a very common food in the "espichas" or in other kinds of celebrations where many people get together, but never in all my life have I ever seen them eat chorizos in cider with apples. Perhaps this may be the custom in some regions, but I doubt it very much. I will try to find out

Bob's translation note: Espicha has several meaning, including the tasting that accompanies the opening of a barrel of cider, and any fiesta that centers around cider.
