🇲🇽 Mexican

A Mexican cazuela classic — seared Chorizo, char-and-smoke salsa base, and a gentle simmer that leaves the sauce deep rust and spoon-clinging. Coriander and crumbled cheese to finish.

Instructions

1
Char Garlic directly over a flame or in a dry comal until blackened in patches — this is where the smoke comes from.
2
Heat the oil in a heavy pan and brown the Chorizo confidently.
3
Add the charred, chopped Garlic with Ground Cumin and fry until the mixture darkens and smells sweet-smoky.
4
Season with salt and a little oregano, add a splash of water, and simmer until the Chorizo is cooked through.
5
Reduce until the sauce clings rather than runs, and check the salt one last time.
6
Serve hot with tortillas, lime wedges, and crumbled cheese over the top.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
