Chorizo in cider is pure Asturian flavor: juicy, smoky and with that sweet and sour touch that only natural cider can give.
Chorizo in cider is one of the most representative dishes of Asturian cuisine and a true icon of tapas in northern Spain. Its origins lie in rural traditions, where cured sausages were fundamental to the daily diet, and natural cider, the star product of the region, was used not only as a beverage but also as a culinary ingredient. The combination of both elements resulted in a simple dish but full of flavor and character.
The preparation consists of slowly cooking the chorizo in natural Asturian cider, which allows the juices of the sausage to mix with the acidity and freshness of the cider. The result is a rich, flavorful sauce that permeates the chorizo, softening its texture and enhancing its flavor. This dish is served hot, often in an earthenware casserole, and is enjoyed with bread to make the most of every drop of sauce.
Today, chorizo a la sidra has crossed regional borders and can be found on the menus of many Spanish bars and restaurants. It has become an essential tapa, perfect for sharing and pairing with a good glass of cider or wine. Its popularity is due to its simplicity, its intense flavor and its ability to evoke home cooking and Asturian roots in every bite.
