Chistorra | Traditional Cooked Sausage From Basque Country, Spain | TasteAtlas

Chistorra

(Txistorra)

Chistorra is a fast-cured sausage made from pork, either from the belly or the jowl. Minced pork is sometimes combined with minced beef, and the sausage is traditionally flavored with garlic, salt, and paprika, which gives the sausage its characteristical red color.


This versatile sausage can be fried, grilled, or baked, and it is often used for tapas or as an accompaniment to other dishes. It can be found in the Basque Country, Aragon, and Navarre.
