How is that working out for you? When I was working on improving my diet, I got to the point where chorizo was the unhealthiest thing I ate but the alternatives just didn't cut it. I made my own for a while (Quorn chicken chunks marinated in olive oil, smoked paprika and some other stuff, probably chili. And yes, Quorn might as well sponsor the thread at this point) but I eventually switched back.
It's the first time I've had it and it was ok, better than I expected. The only thing is that it doesn't release those delicious oils that proper chorizo gives out. But yeah, chorizo is really unhealthy but so tasty. Any time a recipe asks for 75g,I just chuck the entire lot in!
That's been the deal-breaker for me.
I am more restrained than that - I'll cook about a third of it in a meal that is then split into three portions. So one may last quite a while.
