About

To judge by geographic distribution, chorizo is the world’s most popular sausage. Born in Spain, this spicy reddish-orange link is found throughout Spain’s former colonies, from the Caribbean to South America to the Philippines and beyond. Vinegar, paprika, and garlic give chorizo loads of flavor; hot and black pepper impart a deliciously fiery bite.
