This Chorizo Crumb recipe is delicious on top of the Chicken & Chorizo Rose Pasta in our Dinners 4 cookbook.

Making the Chorizo Crumb is very easy. It uses panko breadcrumbs or stale bread, garlic, chorizo, lemon zest and some herbs and spices. I find the Chorizo Crumb is best made fresh, but if you have some stale bread you would like to crumb and then freeze – you can totally do that too.

This isn’t a shelf stable crumb, you can’t make it and keep in the pantry.
