Fresh Chorizo and Piquillo Pepper Bites with Shaved Manchego Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh Chorizo sausage
• 1/4 pound Manchego cheese
• 6 – 8 Piquillo peppers, drained and cut into 1-inch squares
• ZOE Olive Oil

Preparation  

Prick fresh Chorizo sausages in several places with the point of a knife. Grill sausages over medium high heat until medium rare, about 3 minutes on each side. Set aside to drain on a paper towel. When sausages are cool enough to handle, slice diagonally into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

Add ZOE Olive Oil to a sauté pan and sear Chorizo slices on both sides until well browned and cooked through, 1 – 2 minutes for each side. Drain on paper towels.

To serve: Using a vegetable peeler, shave cheese into very thin pieces. Top each piece of chorizo with a shaving of cheese and a square piece of Piquillo Pepper. Skewer with a toothpick. Drizzle with ZOE Olive Oil and serve.
