Yvonne – Thanks for the tip about TJ’s soy chorizo falling apart. I have really heard positive things about the branded Soyrizo. Maybe it will hold up better?

P.S. I tried the Soyrizo type stuff from Trader Joe’s. It was pretty good, considering there was no other alternative, but it fell apart quickly perhaps because there wasn’t enough fat to hold the meat together???

Lovely idea the way you’ve prepared it here. It looks delicious and healthy, too! Thanks for sharing (but I still need to know where you got it, ha!ha!)

Jess – HE-llo right back at you! Glad you appreciate the “cheesey” chorizo heart!

Elisha – The only place I can reliably suggest getting this meat is Le Marais in NY — check out their charcuterie menu (http://lemarais.net/pdf/front_back_butcher%20list.pdf) — I’d gladly place an order with you since I’m sure it’ll cost a pretty penny to ship up here, or you (or I) might pick some meat up on a trip to the City. Dried meat travels well and doesn’t even need refrigeration. On the topic of good kosher sausages (but I don’t believe they’re dried) — check out Jeff’s in LA — http://www.jeffsgourmet.com/ – they also ship. A good veggie option that I have read about and is supposed to be a very good (KSA, parve) chorizo substitute is called Soyrizo (http://www.elburrito.com/soyrizo.html). Hope this helps.
