Chorizo skin

[Cyberlibre]

Do you peel the chorizo before cooking it?

If it's in a packet it should tell you if it needs to be peeled, though it may also state natural edible casing. Not all chorizos require peeling,

I do bit I've never known if you need to. Seems easier to cut peeled.

I normally peel it but it it quite difficult to peel sometimes and I find it easier slicing it when still in the skin! So went for it today. And it made me wonder if I'd been doing it wrong all these years?! Tastes fine to me.

It's probably a brand that doesn't require peeling then. Most that I've tried don't but some do which is a real pain. You'd definitely notice the difference if you didn't peel those.

No, not at all. You treat it like an english sausage in that you wouldnt peel the skin off that either. I cook numerous meals with chorizo...the skin stays on.

Read the title & thought this thread was about a skin condition 😂

Hahahah sorry I didnt know what else to call it.
Oh god. Why am I writing boring posts about chorizo on a Saturday night?

Me too Sunbeams. I was trying to remember if it was the same thing I saw on some clickbait shite earlier today and then remembered that was butterfly skin, where I think some poor woman had really delicate skin like a butterfly wing, but I didn't click because I've learnt now that it goes to something totally unrelated for reasons that I don't understand, even though that nice Dave Gorman did try to explain it in words of one syllable and I still didn't get why it was there and what purpose it was supposed to serve.

Anyway, on the matter of chorizo skin, I try to remove it, and if it comes off, all is good, but if not, what the heck. The fact that I've never noticed nasty papery bits in cooked food would suggest that it can stay on.
