Instructions
- 1
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 5–6 minutes, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining. Transfer the chorizo to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp of the rendered fat in the pan. Discard any excess fat.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant, watching closely so it does not brown.
