This was easy to make. The hard part was finding the spanish kind of chorizo. It has a good flavor. We had this with cornbread.

This was really good. I made one change, using fresh Mexican-style chorizo instead of Spanish (the fresh is easier for me to find). I used three links, which was about 11.5 oz. I left out the oil, just using the fat from the sausage to brown the veg. I also used all red bell pepper (personal preference). Otherwise followed the recipe, using wine. Thanks for sharing!
