Tips
- Use sun-dried tomatoes and roasted bell peppers preserved in oil for tenderness and moisture.
- Adding psyllium husk is optional; without it, the chorizo will be more crumbly but still delicious.
- Adding olive oil at the end helps maintain a glossy finish that mimics traditional chorizo fat.
- The chorizo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for several months.
- For a "Dulce" (mild) chorizo, use 1/2 tsp chili flakes; for "Picante" (spicy), use 1 tsp.
- The fresh rosemary is key, but a touch of oregano can be used for a Mediterranean variation.
- Do not cook for more than 5 minutes in a pan, just enough to brown the sides and heat through without drying out.
