1
Slice the Spanish chorizo into thick rounds and place into a cold pan. Set over medium heat, spreading them out evenly. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden crust and fat is rendered.
2
Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside. Add sliced onions to the remaining rendered fat, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 6 to 7 minutes until caramelized with a nutty flavor.
3
Add minced garlic, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika to the onions. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 1 minute, allowing the spices to bloom and the garlic to become fragrant.
4
Deglaze the pan with vinegar, stirring well to combine all flavors. Return the chorizo and any accumulated fat to the pan and cook for 1 more minute.
5
Turn off the heat, add most of the chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Mix well to combine all flavors and coat evenly.
