CHORIZO IN RED WINE
A classic tapa that's challenging only to the extent that it's hard to find good chorizo; it should not be too well dried but rather fresh and soft. Plenty is being made in the States now, especially in Florida, California, and New York-the major centers of Latin cuisine. Since chorizo is so intensely flavored already, it takes few ingredients to make this dish, but it's still pretty powerful. In northwestern Spain they make this with the local sidra Asturiana, or hard cider; to try it that way, omit the garlic and parsley and substitute hard cider (English, French, or American hard cider is fine) for the red wine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Put the chorizo in an ovenproof skillet and turn the heat to high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it is nicely browned, about 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning the meat.
- Stir in the wine and garlic and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook, more or less undisturbed, until about half the liquid has evaporated and what's left is dark and thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Garnish with parsley and serve very hot, with toothpicks or pieces of bread. Or prepare the dish an hour or two ahead and reheat it.

Tips:
- Using a good quality chorizo is essential for this recipe. Look for a chorizo that is well-seasoned and has a good balance of spice and smokiness.
- If you don't have any red wine on hand, you can use a dry white wine instead. Just be sure to adjust the amount of liquid you add to the pan, as white wine is typically more acidic than red wine.
- This dish is also delicious served with a side of crusty bread or rice.
Conclusion:
Chorizo al vino is a classic Spanish dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of spicy chorizo, rich red wine, and aromatic garlic and paprika creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion.
