Dunno, just saw it.
Send through a link or other info and I’ll happily remove it
Incorrect. Not the standard price.
Nope. Think again.
My comment stands. Show us.
no it's not
Proof?
But little did i know that I wouldn’t know how to. Meh
Are you supposed to cook Chorizo? I think i ate it raw this one time.
I cook it.
Try it on some crusty bread with some Manchego cheese.
It's cured like a salami - to preserve meat long before modern refrigeration.The Spanish do add it to cooking for flavour though.
Chorizo should be cooked :)
Cut Chorizo into smaller halves and put a very small drop of oil in a pan (but considering Chirizo have enough fat, you may not even need to add it) on medium to high heat. Cook until it goldens up.
Put it in a sandwich (fresh/toasted bread) with sliced cucumber, lettuce and tomato.
Goes real well with pan seared squid too …Pan sear chorizo. Put in paper to soak up oil. Cook risotto in the juice/oil in the pan. Top with seared chorizo. Delicious!
Looks like a good price, why the neg?
Because the downvoter is uninformed.
he likes KRANsKY
That's one of the funnier jokes lol :-)
Nice find!
These are just ok, I happen to prefer the Aldi 2 pack Chorizo. A little more authentic imho.
Agree. And if you want even better get the Spanish Chorizo for a try/treat.
And if you want to step it up a bit more go to Rodriguez Bro’s. Incredible.
And where would they be located then?
@[Deactivated]: Cheers. Looks great, but bit far for me to go to, although I live in NSW I much closer to Brisbane than Sydney.
I buy my quality Chorizo either Spanish or local quality from an artisan deli style wherever I find it few times per year on my travels at wine tasting areas or delis I visit or even some farmers markets or food fares etc.
For me it's more like a treat, so no need to have a regular close shop by me anyway.
@ozhunter68: As long as you found a good place, that’s all that matters. If you ever get the chance to go to Rodriguez Bro’s, you won’t be disappointed. Not a big shop but has an amazing selection of deli meats and the chorizo is made there just like it would be in Spain or South America. :)
Does freezing chorizo affect it’s taste?
they tend to lose a bit of moisture after a while, you'll see all the ice crystals forming. They seem ok to me though, the woolies ones are lot more moist than some in the coles deli. I've eaten the majority of mine from frozen, I only buy them when they half price
Ok great, maybe I’ll experiment with freezing and thawing. I only use chorizo for cooking chilli (mince and beans) so the chorizo doesn’t have to be perfect
I find it helps to cook thawed meat in a wet sauce such as chilli con carne like you mention, or pasta sauce on medium type heat as the moisture keeps the meat soft and moist too even after being frozen.
Fresh meat is still better, but we all need to freeze from time to time.
@ozhunter68: sometimes i slice it up and boil it for a few minutes, so much fat comes out, it is scary. same if you put it on paper towel and nuke it for 10 seconds.
@jonathonsunshine: Yeah, lot's of fat, especially in some of the cheaper brands like this.
Few years ago, after slicing it up I used to pick out/off most of the big exposed pieces of fat, but takes time and mostly can't be bothered.
The time before refrigeration and preservatives ( apart from natural spice preservative ) , they had to add a certain amount of fat to cure and preserve it so it did not end up too dry or worst still gone bad.
Up until the last 3 or 4 decades people liked fat on meat a lot more than now too.
These are made in AU from 90%+ imported ingredient, any clue where the ingredients are from?
Came here to ask the same thing. I'm going to assume China. That's a pass from me.
Same, importing the pork meat like wtf
The Primo product labels used to state the imported pork was from the EU or NA. I haven't had a Primo product for ages though, so I don't know if that's still the case.
Edit - Their FAQ still says
As an Australian manufacturer of meat products we purchase the largest volume of Australian pork in the country, in addition we purchase imported pork from North America and Europe to supplement the production requirements that Australian farms cannot meet and to also maintain our products at an affordable price for our customers.
@deva5610: 'to supplement the production requirements that Australian farms cannot meet' - uh huh I wonder if they really believe it.
@t_c: Ha. Yeah, probably not so much that but more 'maintain our products at an affordable price for our customers.' ie - we're squeezing the Aussie pork producers as much as we can but they won't give us bottom barrel prices.
They're half price every second week and have been for the last few years.
Pity it's not consistent - It could be a long-running deal.
These are very average… I suggest don't buy too many like i did without first trying them. They are pretty frequently half price so no fomo
thanks OP!
