Pork Inside Her (or, Chorizo in Cider)

Directions

• In a large pan, heat a small amount of olive oil or fry light over a medium heat and add the whole chorizo sausages. You’re looking to brown them off slightly and release some of their juices, but this may not happen initially, don’t panic.
• Thinly slice the onion and add to the pan, softening and browning slightly but not too much. Around 4 or 5 minutes should do it.
• Add the cider and then simmer on a relatively high heat with a lid on for around 15 minutes, or until the onion has softened completely and the chorizo is almost cooked. You should see the cider reduced quite a bit now too, but still a lot of liquid in the pan.
• Remove the chorizo and cut the sausages on a slight angle. Return back to the pan and continue simmering with the lid off until the liquid reduces down to a syrupy consistency.
• Once you get to this point, remove from the heat, and serve immediately with warmed bread for mopping up the juice or as part of a tapas night.
