Chorizo in cider is a typical dish from Asturias, a region in northern Spain known for its cider, an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of apple juice and used to preserve meat. This liquor adds a special touch to the chorizos, slowly cooked in a casserole with this drink and spices such as bay leaf, garlic, and paprika. The result is a delicious, juicy, and aromatic dish served as a starter or a main course.
