What food goes well with chorizo?
Chef's answer
Traditionally, Mexican chorizo is a mix of pork, chiles and flavors like coriander and ginger, with the added tang of vinegar. I love pairing chorizo with clams, bell peppers and, surprisingly, pears, which balance out the smoky heat of the chorizo with a fresh, sweet flavor.
