Sweet Figs And Chorizo With Lentils And Caramelized Onions Recipe
Sweet Figs And Chorizo With Lentils And Caramelized Onions Recipe
When I think of chorizo, there is one dish that always comes to mind (and never fails to make me hungry): Chorizo with Sweet and Sour Figs, a warm tapas served at Barcelona restaurant in South Norwalk, Conn. The smoky flavor from the pork sausage combined with the rich caramelization of the braised figs is incredibly satisfying (and perfect to eat with the restaurant’s phenomenal bread).Inspired by Barcelona’s chorizo tapas, I wanted to create a hearty salad-like dish that I could eat alone or atop a bed of greens. I added cooked French green lentils for added fiber and heft, and chose fresh chorizo rather than smoked, cured as served at the restaurant.If you don’t have chorizo, you can use your favorite sausage as a substitute.Click here to see Recipe SWAT Team: Chorizo
