For this recipe we’re going to use Spanish Chorizo sausage. Chorizo often come smoke dried and hard which is a little more difficult to work with - you might have to marinate them in a little stock before cooking them. The ones I am using are freshly smoked by a local charcutière in Canberra (Pialago estate)
Traditionally this recipe would use a sweet red wine, and the sausage would be marinated in that overnight, but I decided to take a short cut and use smoked tomato sauce instead - and I think it worked out better and lower carb in the end.
The final dish is a little bit theatrical as it uses a poached egg that sauces the dish at the table.
