Expert Tips

Ground chorizo is generally available in 1-lb packages. Cook the whole package, use a quarter for this recipe, then use the rest to fill omelets or stir into pasta or chili.
While standard Spanish Manzanilla olives work well in this recipe, if you can find Italian Castelvetrano olives, their beautiful color and flavor can’t be beat!
