This is a just a two ingredient appetizer, great for a party, and it is so easy and delicious. It compliments any cheese plate or charcuterie board and adds a bit of spice to the evening. The sweet sherry mixed with the spice of the sausage is a great combination.
TIPS: Be sure to use dried chorizo sausage links in this recipe. Using good quality sherry wine (not sherry vinegar) as this makes big difference in flavor. Remember to make this ahead of time so it can rest in the refrigerator for a few hours. The alcohol will all burn off in the cooking process, so don’t worry about your guests having alcohol if they cannot have it.
