1/2 red onion *

1 minced garlic clove *

1 bay leaf *

1. Add the 50ml of olive oil to a large pan, heat gently, then add in the sliced red onion and the minced garlic. 
2. Lightly caramelise the onions and garlic, and then add the fresh thyme and bay leaf
3. Now add in the star of the show, the chorizo! Leave them whole and cook them until the oils ooze out and begin to softly brown 
4. Now add in the 200 ml of Asturian cider and your meat stock. 
5. Now grab that last drop of cider and do the washing up while you leave the liquid to reduce to half and the chorizo become soft
