Portuguese Chorizo

Portuguese Chorizo

EverydayCooked

Portuguese chorizo is a cured, smoked pork sausage seasoned with paprika, garlic, and red wine, distinguished from Spanish chorizo by its milder smoked paprika flavor and pre-cooked preparation. Its firm texture and rich, smoky-savory profile make it a versatile ingredient in stews, soups, and charcuterie boards. While high in protein, it contains significant saturated fat and sodium due to its curing process.
