Oranges In Red Wine Naranjas Al Vino Tinto Recipes

ORANGES SIMMERED IN RED WINE

Steps:

• Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange to expose the flesh. Cutting from top to bottom, following the contours of the orange, completely remove the peel and white pith. Discard the peel and set the oranges aside. In a saucepan, combine all of the remaining ingredients except the mint leaves. Heat to a simmer. Add the whole peeled oranges and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, turning the oranges every 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature in the liquid, turning occasionally. Chill. To serve, cut each orange crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the slices, overlapping them, on small serving plates. (The outsides of the oranges will be redder than the insides.) Drizzle a little liquid over each plate and sprinkle with mint.

CHORIZO AL VINO (CHORIZO IN RED WINE)

Steps:

• Heat half the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet until very hot.
• Cut the chorizo inot 1/2 inch rounds.
• Add half the chorizo and fry on both sides for 1 minute each. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep hot.
• Add the remaining oil and remaining chorizo and cook as stated above.
• Add the wine and thyme to the pan and swirl to dissolve the sediment. NOTE: if using kielbasa, add 2 t of paprika to the pan as well. Cook gently to thicken and reduce the sauce.
• Pour the sauce over the hot chorizo, sprinkle with pepper and serve with chunks of torn bread for dipping.
