I love chorizo! It's a great and versatile ingredient to add some bite to your dishes.
Chorizo for frying gives you some extra options so I'm often looking for ways to use it in my dishes.
When I saw a version of this recipe online I knew I had to make my own version of it.

I often see a recipe and from there think about what I would do different... In this case for instance the original recipe asked you to fry the spare ribs in some oil and after that fry the chorizo in a different pan and drain the fat (which they then didn't use). So that's where the first change came into play: fry the chorizo and then use the fat from the chorizo to fry the spare ribs!

Always try and get the maximum use out of the flavors you already have!

Enjoy!
