    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.

    Add the garlic, paprika and bay leaves and stir for 30 seconds.

    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.

    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.
