Preparation

Step 1

Cut the chorizo into 1/2 inch cubes.

Heat half the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet until very hot. Add half the chorizo and fry on both sides for 1 minute each. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep hot. Add the remaining oil and remaining chorizo. Cook and remove as before.

Add wine and thyme to the pan and swirl to dissolve the sediment. Cook gently to thicken and reduce the sauce. Pour the sauce over the hot chorizo, sprinkle with pepper and serve with chunks of torn bread for dipping.
