Chorizo Dip (Thermomix)

This chorizo dip made in the Thermomix is rich, creamy, and bursting with smoky chorizo flavour. Perfect for parties, snacks, or as a spread for crackers and bread!

It's absolutely delicious, but isn't the healthiest of dips, however, if you use light cream cheese and Elmlea cream, these will reduce the calories slightly!   It's a great dip to serve at a party or buffet with crusty bread, breadsticks, or tortilla chips.

Chorizo Dip

If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix, follow the recipe below (please note: I've changed the measurements to grams instead of ounces):

Ingredients

• 56g green (spring) onions, green top part only
• 56g green (spring) onions, white part only
• 140g diced chorizo
• 125g fresh Roma tomatoes, quartered (approx. 1 large tomato - I use a vine tomato)
• 2 pinches ground cumin
• 225g cheddar cheese, cubed
• 100g cream cheese (I use light cream cheese to reduce the calories!)
• 100ml heavy whipping cream (I use Elmlea double cream to reduce the calories!)
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Place the green onion tops into the mixing bowl and chop 3 seconds/speed 7. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
2. Place the white onion parts, chorizo, tomato, and ground cumin into the mixing bowl and chop 5 seconds/speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula and without the measuring cup cook 10 minutes/Varoma/speed 1. Transfer into a separate bowl and set aside.
3. Without washing the mixing bowl, place the cheddar cheese cubes into the mixing bowl and grate 5 seconds/speed 6.
4. Add the cream cheese, whipping (or double) cream, and garlic powder and cook 6 minutes 30 seconds/195F/speed 1. Transfer into a serving bowl.
5. Serve the cooked chorizo mixture in the centre of a serving bowl, surrounded by the cheese dip, and sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onion tops (see Tips)

Non-Thermomix Instructions

I'd suggest the recipe can be adapted using the hob, a cheese grater, and a chopping board and knife - my suggestions are as follows:

1. Green onion tops - finely chop by hand.
2. White onion parts, chorizo, and tomato - firstly, finely chop each ingredient by hand.   Put into a saucepan with the ground cumin on medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Cheddar cheese - grate by hand.
4. Put the grated cheese into the saucepan the chorizo mixture was cooked in, along with the cream cheese, cream, and garlic powder, and cook on a medium to low heat for 6 minutes 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
5. Serve the cooked chorizo mixture in the centre of the serving bowl, surrounded by the cheese dip, and sprinkle with the reserved chopped green onion tops (see Tips).
