Hogazas, the Spanish version of Italian bruschetta or crostini, make a delicious appetizer or snack, and this version has just four ingredients. Chorizo is a high-flavor, high-fat food, so a little goes a long way in flavoring this appetizer. You’ll need to use Spanish-style chorizo, which is a highly seasoned dry pork sausage, for the topping. Spanish chorizo is quite different from spicy Mexican-style sausage made from fresh, raw pork. To toast the bread slices, place them in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and broil them for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are lightly browned.
Ingredients
Chorizo
2 oz
Red bell pepper
1 medium, roasted*
Italian bread
8 slice(s), 2-inch slices
Cilantro
1 Tbsp, or parsley, minced
Instructions
1
Peel the papery casing from the chorizo and pierce the sausage all over with a fork. Place in a nonstick skillet with enough water to cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a cutting board. Finely chop the sausage and the roasted pepper and combine them in a small bowl.
2
Toast the bread slices until golden. Spoon the chopped sausage and pepper mixture on the toasts. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Yields 2 toasts per serving.
