Roasted chorizo in brandy is a classic of Portuguese cuisine, combining simplicity, tradition and an explosion of flavors. This snack is often found at social gatherings, whether as a starter at a special meal or as the star of a relaxed snack with friends and family. The unique touch of the clay roaster transforms this delicacy into a culinary spectacle that is as delicious as it is visually captivating.
The Ritual of Roasted Chorizo
The preparation of roasted chorizo is simple, but full of tradition. It all starts with a good chorizo, preferably artisanal, with quality meat and seasonings such as garlic, pepper, paprika and wine. This sausage is placed on the clay roaster, a typical piece of Portuguese culture, designed especially for this purpose.
The secret is in the brandy. This drink is poured into the cavity of the roaster, where it will be set alight, creating a flame that cooks the chorizo evenly. The fire enhances the flavors of the sausage, caramelizing the surface and leaving the inside juicy and aromatic. The aroma that spreads throughout the room is unmistakable and irresistible.
