Chorizo Al Vino Tinto - Spanish Chorizo In Red Wine
This chorizo al vino tinto recipe is a classic tapas recipe for Spanish chorizo in red wine. It’s common at tapas bars in Spain and easy to make at home with only 6 ingredients. I learned to make this dish when we lived in Spain and now make it when we do tapas nights.

Ingredients
- 1/2 pound uncooked chorizo, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 5-6 sausages)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup of dry red wine
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Place a frying pan or saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chorizo and cook for 3-5 minutes searing the chorizo until it starts to brown on both sides.
- Add the olive oil and use a wooden spoon to scrape any bits of chorizo from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic and allow it to soak up the flavor of the oil and chorizo. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the wine and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to a simmer and slowly cook for 20-25 minutes.
- It is ready when the wine becomes slightly thickened.
- Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread as a snack or as part of a tapas night.
Notes
Both the chorizo and red wine make this dish almost alarmingly red. Be careful and don’t cook in a light-colored top or use a new, white kitchen towel you don’t want to end up turning red.
