Savory Churros Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Chorizo cut into small cubes
- 1 small Shallot roughly chopped
- 5 tbsp Unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 and 1/4 cups Plain flour
- 1 tsp Garlic granules
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 3 Large eggs lightly beaten
- 1 liter Sunflower oil for frying
Instructions
- Cook chorizo and chopped shallot in a pan until they’re nice and golden.
- Add butter and chicken stock to the pan. Let it simmer until the butter melts.
- Stir in flour, garlic, and salt until you get a smooth dough.
- Take the pan off the heat and slowly mix in the beaten eggs until everything’s mixed well.
- Heat oil in a big pot until it’s hot.
- Put the churro dough into a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
- Squeeze the dough into the hot oil, cutting it into pieces with scissors.
- Fry until they’re golden and crispy, then take them out and let them drain on paper towels.
- Serve your savory churros hot with your favorite dipping sauce or just eat them as they are!
Notes
- Choose good quality chorizo for maximum flavour. It’s the star of the show in these savoury churros, so go for something delicious.
- When you’re making the dough, take your time to mix everything well. You want a smooth consistency before you start frying.
- Before you start frying your churros, make sure the oil is hot enough. You can check by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top quickly, it’s ready.
- Savory churros are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the fryer. Serve them immediately with your favorite dipping sauce for the ultimate flavor experience.
