Heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and fry for 3 minutes each side until they release their red oil and edges crisp.
6 min - 2
Add the garlic, paprika and bay leaves and stir for 30 seconds.
- 3
Pour in the red wine and scrape up any sticky bits from the pan. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer.
- 4
Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the chorizo now and then, until the wine has reduced to a thick, glossy glaze that coats the slices.
14 min - 5
Take out the bay leaves, scatter over the parsley and serve hot in a small dish with cocktail sticks.
