Ingredients for the Chorizo Puffs

  • 4 ounces of our pork chorizo
  • ¾ cup of diced Manchego cheese 
  • ¼ cup of thinly sliced green onions
  • 1 cup of water 
  • 4 ounces of unsalted butter cut into small cubes 
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt 
  • 1 cup of flour 
  • 4 eggs 
  • Vegetable oil  
  • 1 pastry bag
  • 4 teaspoons of spice mixture (ingredients found below)

  • ½ cup of Kosher salt 
  • ¼ cup of ground coriander 
  • 2 tablespoons of ground cumin 
  • 2 tablespoons of Spanish sweet paprika

Directions

  • In a small sauté pan, lightly cook the chorizo, remove from the heat, and add the cheese and green onions. Set aside. 
  • In a large saucepan, bring the butter, water, and salt to a boil. Remove from the heat, add flour, and stir until the mixture comes together into a ball. Return to the heat and stir for two minutes.

  • On a lightly floured surface, squeeze out one-foot-long ropes and cut them into 1½-inch long pieces. 
  • Pour 2 cups of vegetable oil into a frying pan on medium heat. When the oil is ready, carefully add the dough pieces and fry until golden brown. 
  • Drain on a paper towel and season with 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture. 
  • Repeat until you have about 60 chorizo puffs or all of the dough is used up. 
  • Enjoy!
