  Chorizo at AllExperts
Chorizo is a pork sausage originating from the Iberian peninsula and known as Chouriço in Portugal.
It is made by simply putting pieces of chorizo into scrambled eggs as soon as you start cooking them, and mashing the pieces of chorizo with a fork, so the two ingredients blend together during cooking.
Some Argentine chorizo producers occasionally add other types of meat in order to improve the flavor, such as donkey meat; however, consumers are not always aware of this, and may consider such additions cheating.

Chorizo has been a by-product of the matanza del cerdo (slaughtering of the pig) in Spain for several thousand years, although centuries ago it would have been different to the chorizo that we know today due to the absence of pimentón (paprika), which coming from peppers was not available until Europeans reached the Americas.
These smaller chorizos are usually softer than the large ones and are normally used for cooking, being an important ingredient in a whole range of dishes made with vegetables and pulses.
