Ingredients
2 tablespoons lard
1 onion, sliced into half rings
1 pound loose chorizo
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup sliced baby mushrooms
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
Sea salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
Heat the lard in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
Add the sliced onions to the hot skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and just beginning to soften.
Add the loose chorizo to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chorizo is browned and cooked through.
Add the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers begin to soften.
Stir in the broccoli florets and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook for 3 minutes for tender-crisp broccoli or up to 5 minutes if you prefer it softer.
Transfer the chorizo stir fry to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
Comments
All ingredients are standard stock at Charlotte grocers—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger all carry Spanish chorizo, and the vegetables are basic year-round produce that won't require a special trip. At roughly $12–14 total for chorizo, lard, four vegetables, and seasoning, this comes in around $3–3.50 per serving, which is solid for a weeknight. The stated 15 minutes is honest if the chorizo is already sliced and you prep ahead, but realistically add 5 minutes for onion and pepper work if you're starting cold. This is a one-pan dump-and-stir dish with no fussy timing, perfect for a busy family dinner, and any leftovers reheat well for lunch the next day.
