So the other day in the grocery store I ran across something called "soyrizo" which is a vegetarian alternative to chorizo. Now, I LOVE chorizo, but I don't cook it very often. I don't like to eat meat every day. I'm by no means a vegan or a vegetarian, but meat is not my favorite food. So I was ecstatic to find this product!!
The package said "you'll never know it isn't chorizo!!" And I was up for the challenge.
I went to cook it. Took it out of the casing as normal. Sprayed the pan with canola oil, and went to town. I actually had to keep adding extra virgin olive oil to it, because the soyrizo was not oily at all and if I didn't oil the pan more it would have burned easily and smoked badly.
I added some veggies to the mix, and everything turned out well. It really did taste like chorizo!! Then again, I don't eat chorizo too often, so perhaps someone who eats it more will feel differently. But it was very delicious to eat, it was just a bitch to cook. So I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
