Chorizos Braised in Hard Cider
Hard cider, an Asturian specialty, is sweet apple cider that has been allowed to ferment. Hard ciders are generally sold at liquor stores, but those with a lower alcohol content may be available at some supermarkets.

TOTAL TIME:
45 MIN
- SERVINGS: 6
Ingredients
- 6 semi-dry Spanish-style chorizos (2 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- One 24-ounce bottle hard apple cider
- Crusty bread, for serving
Directions
- Make four 1/2-inch-deep slashes on 1 side of each chorizo. In a medium, deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chorizos and cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the hard cider to the skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook, turning occasionally, until the chorizos are softened and the liquid is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 30 minutes. Transfer the chorizos and sauce to a shallow bowl and serve with hunks of crusty bread.
Make Ahead
The chorizos can be cooked earlier in the day. Rewarm them in a covered skillet over low heat.
Notes
For a cocktail-style appetizer, cut the chorizos into 1-inch pieces after cooking them and serve with toothpicks.
