The original product I received was surprisingly bland. I used it in stuffing for a roast chicken. I chopped it and mixed it in with the cooked ingredients and then stuffed the chicken.
So, I contacted Aurelia, told them and asked if that was typical. Their reply was no. It was not. Unfortunately, I couldn’t tell them the batch number because I had used the entire piece and discarded the wrapping. They decided to replace the product for free and also sent me samples of other chorizo products.
I used this product last night in a chili relleno casserole (layers of roasted chilis, shredded cheese, seasoned egg/flour/milk mix and diced Spanish chorizo (as with the stuffing, the chorizo was added as is (casing on) at room temperature). Wow. It was so good. It added so much to the taste of the dish. My husband was very impressed and said 3 times how good it was while we were dining. Then, he mentioned it again twice at breakfast the next day. He liked it.
Definitely not what I originally got. Although this chorizo only cooked for 35 minutes in the casserole vs 90 minutes in the chicken, it imparted great flavor to the dish, and really made the dish. (The roasted peppers were fresh from my garden, but I didn’t have enough of them.)
We both agreed that this chorizo is at its best in a cooked dish. Eaten at room temperature as is, I would rate it a 3. It needs heat to bring out the flavor.
