🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 4 links fresh chorizo sausage

  sliced into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

• 1 Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.

  and allow to cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 3 When just starting to caramelize, add the garlic and mix well.
• 4 When fragrant, throw the chorizo into the pan and brown on all sides. This
  should take about 5 more minutes.
• 5 Pour in the wine, add the tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and the bay leaf, and stir
  well to combine.
• 6 Bring to a simmer and allow the mixture to reduce for about 10 minutes, or until
  the sauce has thickened and is no longer "soupy."

• 8 Serve with a loaf of your favorite bread and, if desired, a few additional herbs
  sprinkled on top. Eat.
