1 tbsp olive oil
9 ounces Spanish chorizo, sliced

1 yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot.
Add the sliced chorizo and cook for about 3 minutes, allowing it to brown slightly.
Stir in the chopped bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
