Spanish chorizo is a type of sausage that is made from ground pork, paprika, garlic, and other spices. It is typically flavoured with smoked paprika, giving it a distinct red color and a slightly spicy taste depending on the chosen spiciness. Spanish chorizo is generally in cured forms and can therefore be eaten without cooking, just remember to remove the skin first. It is commonly used in Spanish cuisine, either sliced and eaten on its own or used as an ingredient in dishes like paella, stews, or tapas.
