FEELING ADVENTUROUS?
• Use any sausage, ground meat, or meat alternative in place of the chorizo in Step 2. Try sweet Italian sausage, finished with parmesan or romano, for a different experience, or lamb sausage with harissa, coriander, and fennel seed for a North african take on the dish.
• add chile powder and/or chopped chiles along with the chorizo in Step 2.
