The first thing to do is put a little bit of water on a pan before cooking it over medium heat. You do not need to add oil since it may caramelize. The oil will come from the chorizo itself. Prick it while cooking and allow the water to evaporate. Flip the chorizo from time to time and, if necessary, scrape the pan. Once the chorizo starts to ooze out of the casing, the chorizo is cooked.
