Chorizo a la sidra (or chorizo cooked in cider) is an authentic style of Spanish tapas, small plates of food served in Spanish bars and restaurants. This is one of the easiest tapas recipes to prepare for an authentic experience at home. Spanish chorizo is slow cooked in hard cider seasoned with smoked paprika, shallots, and garlic, creating a smoky-sweet flavor combination. Thick slices of rustic bread are a necessity for sopping up that delicious cider sauce.
