Chorizo and morcilla from the mountain pig slaughter

Food and drink · Cañizares, Serranía Alta, Cuenca

Image of Cañizares, not of the place itself.

The winter pig slaughter stocked the year's larder: chorizos marinated with paprika and garlic, blood sausages of onion or rice and loins preserved in earthenware jars. The dry cold of the sierra allowed them to be cured hanging in the upper rooms of the houses.
