Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, parsley, salt, sparkling water and olive oil. Mix until smooth. Heat 1 inch of oil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat; it's ready when it quickly browns a small drop of batter.

  2. Step 2

    Dip each piece of chorizo in the batter and lower into the hot oil. Fry until golden on all sides, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. May be served warm or at room temperature.
