Peeling Chorizo - Any tips?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Sorry its a bit random !

I love chorizo and we eat it quite often but peeling it is a real pain in the arse. Its probably one of my most hated prep jobs

Does anyone have any tips to make it easier/quicker ?

Butternut squash what a fucking nightmare that is!

Preparing Butternut Squash, my 2nd most hated food prep job

What do you do with it then everythingchangeseverything?

everythingchanges - eh? what? you can't possibly eat the outside of a butternut squash it is made of reinforced concrete surely?

I buy pre peeled and chunked Butternut Squash

I am disproportionately excited to do our next chorizo meal without peeling...

I always peel it, but if (as has already been said) you score up the side with a knife then the peel comes off pretty easily.

We have a really cheap peeler that peels squash and pumpkin so easily. In fact, we have three, as we buy them occasionally to give away when friend complain about not being able to peel butternut squash. Sort of D== shaped (that's lying on its side). Thin metal frame, two blades. Doesn't have a brand marked on it.

Ooo fanx everything!

I always peel chorizo, slice up the side and then it peels off easily.

Oh I've tried the roasting and then peeling, it's a pita to take the skin off then so I prefer to peel 1st!

You're supposed to peel it?

Have never considered peeling chorizo - use a potato peeler for butternut squash and an ice-cream scoop to get the seeds out....

They don't peel it in Spain.
Do you lot peel chipolatas too?

I never used to peel it until one day I made a chorizo salad for a dinner party and my guests were spitting out bits of skin. Since then I err in the safe side and peel it.
