My husband looked it up lol Chorizo (pronounced /tʃəˈriːzoʊ/; pronounced [tʃoˈɾiθo] in Spanish) or Chouriço (in Portuguese) is a term encompassing several types of pork sausage originating from the Iberian Peninsula. Sometimes mispronounced as "choritso", it can be a fresh sausage, in which case it must be cooked, but in Europe it is more frequently a fermented cured smoked sausage, in which case it is usually sliced and eaten without cooking. Spanish chorizo and Portuguese chouriço get their distinctive smokiness and deep red colour from dried smoked red peppers (pimentón/pimentão or colorau). Chorizo can be eaten as is (sliced or in a sandwich), simmered in apple cider or other strong alcoholic beverage such as Aguardente, barbecued or fried. Like breakfast sausage, it is used as an ingredient of other dishes. It also can be used as a partial replacement for ground beef or pork.
