Garlic Pan-Fried Bread and chorizo
Choose a soft chorizo sausage tor this recipe as; although it will not have been cured for a long period, the soft varieties usually contain a high proportion of fat.   This makes them very good for cooking.   As an alternative to chorizo, you could use thickly cut Serrano ham or even garlic sausage.
 • Cut the chorizo sausage into ½ -inch/1-cm thick slices and cut the bread, with its crusts still on, into ½ inch/ 1-cm cubes.   Add enough olive oil to a large, heavy-bottom skillet so that it generously covers the bottom.   Heat the oil, add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds-1 minute, or until lightly browned.
• Add the bread cubes to the skillet and pan-fry,   stirring all the time,   until golden brown and crisp.   Add the chorizo slices and pan-fry for 1-2 minutes,   or until hot,   using a slotted spoon,   Remove the bread cubes and chorizo from the skillet and drain well on paper towels.
• Turn the pan-fried bread and chorizo into a warmed serving bowl,   add the chopped parsley,   and toss together.   Garnish the dish with a sprinkling of paprika and serve warm.   Accompany with toothpicks so that a piece of sausage and a cube of bread can be speared together for eating.
