Ingredients
- 7 ounces Spanish chorizo sausage not the Mexican style
- 4 slices of bread stale country bread works the best (thick slices)

- 3-4 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh and chopped
- 2 teaspoons Spanish sweet paprika
Instructions
- Cut the chorizo sausage into ½ inch/1 cm thick slices.
- Cut the bread, with its crust still on, into ½inch /1 cm cubes. Add enough olive oil to a large, heavy-bottom skillet so that it generously covers the bottom.
- Heat the oil, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or just until lightly browned.
- Add the chorizo slices and cook them for 2-3 minutes until browned. Add the Spanish sweet paprika and mix well.
- Add the bread cubes to the skillet and pan fry, stirring all the time, until golden brown and crisp.
- Turn the pan fried bread and chorizo into a serving bowl and add the chopped parsley. Toss together.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Opt for stale, hearty bread for better texture.
- Spanish chorizo offers authentic flavor, but alternatives like Italian sausage work well.
- Adjust paprika to taste; smoked paprika provides a different flavor twist.
- Serve warm, and enjoy as a hearty breakfast or comforting dinner.
