Ingredients
- Chorizo sausage
- 1 pound, sliced
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Red wine
- 1 cup (preferably spanish red wine)
- Bay leaf
- 2 leaves
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Note: Chorizo releases its own fat, so you can skip the oil if you prefer.

- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, ensuring the garlic becomes fragrant but does not burn.
- Pour in the red wine and add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the wine to meld with the chorizo flavors for deeper richness.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the chorizo simmer in the wine for about 15 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half and thickened into a luscious sauce.

- Serve the chorizo in red wine warm, accompanied by crusty bread for dipping, and enjoy this delightful Spanish experience!
