A winning combination: Kale and IGP Riojan chorizo

Kale is a kind of leaf cabbage that is highly beneficial and has become quite popular in recent times. It is remarkable for its low caloric value and for being rich in minerals (iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium) and vitamins (C, E, A, K). All in all, it makes a perfect companion for all kinds of food—including, of course, a winning combination with our very own IGP Riojan chorizo, produced with 100% natural ingredients, a careful choice of pork loin spiced with the finest paprika, fine dry salt and garlic. Need proof? Well then, below is a super-tasty mix of flavours that does not take long to prepare and is truly mouth-watering.

Go ahead and try! And from La Rioja…bon appétit!
