After living in the Portuguese area of Montreal for many years, I became a little addicted with Chorizo. As I traveled around, I noticed that every Chorizo is made a little differently and I’m starting to miss the soft and spicy version I was able to find at my beloved Portuguese grocery.
Here’s a simple recipe that brings me back to my time eating my favourite type of Chorizo.. Hope you like it!

Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Author: Zesty and Spicy
Cuisine: Portuguese Inspired
Ingredients
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow onion (regular size), finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon of olive oil
- 2 big Chorizo, sliced
- 1½ cup of sliced and skin removed red potatoes (about 2-3)
- 1 cup of apply cider
- 1 teaspoon of Shiro miso
- 1 tightly packed cup of chopped broccolini
- 1 tightly packed cup of sliced orange bell pepper (1 big one)
- 1 decently packed cup of sliced Shitake mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon of regular soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- - Medium/High heat, on the stove top, in a flat bottom pan (I used a non-stick), add the olive oil, minced garlic and chopped onions. Grill for 2-3 minutes till they start softening and then add the sliced Chorizo. Continue grilling all together (while mixing from time to time) for an extra 3 minutes.
- - Deglaze the pan with your apple cider, mix everything for 1 minute before adding the rest of your ingredients.
- - Once every ingredient is in the pan, continue mixing from time to time till all the liquid is absorb and the potatoes are cooked to your liking (about 7 to 10 minutes)
- - Taste your creation and adjust the salt & pepper content needed.
there’s a date you may find useful someday, ‘chorizo’ is the top of the iceberg, if you really want to go crazy with flavor, go to the rest of the iceberg, ‘morcilla’, (you will allucinate), you can cook it if you want but I’d rather cut them in small cilindric pieces and eat it raw, you can find sweet or salad, some people even add in the mass while elaborating them olives, cheese, orange or apple
BON APPETITE!!!!

Excelllet recipe, but…..
Chorizo is nothing but the most popular sausage of Spain, not Portugal.
Thanks for sharing!
Good to know tks! They sell it as something portuguese here in Montreal 🙂 I have no idea *^_^*
…glad you liked the recipe!
Chorizo is spiced pork meat embedded or whatever you call it.
Morcilla is pork blood with onion or rice (2 variants). Yes, It can sounds disgusting, but believe me, Morcilla mixed with sweet taste (like applesauce) It is gmmgmmgmgmmm.

Yeah I’ve eaten a lot of that growing up. Not my favourite but my parents love them
