Chorizo comes in many varieties – it can be fresh, cured, fermented, dried, smoked or unsmoked, – but it is recognized for its characteristically red colour. Most often, the recipe starts with pork, salt, garlic and paprika. There are an immense variety of recipe variations depending on the country of origin, and even the region within each country! Spain, Portugal and Mexico are most often recognized worldwide for their chorizos, yet you can also find chorizo throughout Central and South America and India too!
