directions

ingredients for chorizo al vino tinto
Step 1

Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Pierce each sausage a few times with a fork and add to pan along with wine; bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Cover and cook for 20 minutes, flipping sausage halfway. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. This will infuse the sausages with flavour.

Step 4

Remove sausages from pan and cut into ½-inch thick slices. Pour wine into a heat-proof bowl or measuring cup and set aside.

Step 5

Return sausages to pan over medium-high and cook until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add reserved wine; cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, position an oven rack 6-inches from top of oven and heat broiler to high. Place baguette slices on a rimmed baking sheet and brush both sides with remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil. Place in oven and broil until golden, 1-2 minutes per side, checking often.

Step 8

Remove sausages and wine sauce to a serving dish and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with toasted bread.
