Sposób przygotowania
Krok po kroku
- 1
Slice the Spanish chorizo into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Około 2 min
Wskazówka kucharza: For easier slicing, you can slightly chill the chorizo before cutting. Ensure uniform thickness for even cooking.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet or shallow pot over medium heat until shimmering.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Using a skillet with a lid is ideal for this recipe, as it allows for simmering and flavor development.
- 3
Add the sliced chorizo rounds to the hot skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to release their vibrant red oils and develop a slight crispness on the edges.
Około 4 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure proper browning and oil rendering.
- 4
Pour in the hard cider, ensuring the chorizo is mostly submerged in the liquid. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Około 3 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Choose a dry or semi-dry hard cider for the best flavor balance; avoid overly sweet varieties.
- 5
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the chorizo to simmer gently for 15 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld and the cider to slightly reduce and thicken.
Około 15 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Keep an eye on the liquid level; if it reduces too much, add a splash more cider or a tablespoon of water to prevent scorching.
- 6
Uncover the skillet and serve the Chorizo a la Sidra immediately, either directly from the cooking vessel or transferred to a warm serving dish.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: A shallow ceramic dish or a small cast-iron skillet makes for an attractive presentation.
- 7
Serve with generous slices of crusty bread for dipping into the rich, cider-infused sauce.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: Baguette or a rustic country bread works perfectly to soak up all the delicious juices.

Przechowuj prawidłowo
This dish is fantastic as part of a tapas spread, alongside other Spanish favorites like patatas bravas or gambas al ajillo. For a slightly spicier kick, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika or a tiny dried chili flake to the chorizo as it cooks. Pair with a crisp, dry hard cider or a light-bodied red wine like a Spanish Garnacha.
Store leftover Chorizo a la Sidra in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat gently in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through, adding a splash of water or cider if the sauce has thickened too much. Alternatively, microwave in short bursts, stirring occasionally.
