We have variants of this dish whilst on holiday in Portugal. At home, I put a flame proof bowl into the oven (the terracotta ones used to serve tapas are good) and when it is super hot take it to the table. The put the sliced chorizo in and add alcohol and ignite. We like Ricardo as the aniseed…

I also had trouble lighting the vodka so I just turned the heat on to let some if the liquid evaporate, I also would recommend using smaller pieces as I did chunky slices and found it to be a bit too much

Or sizzled in cider.

Loved the "petrol" comment! not sure what the Health & Safety Executive would say though! ;-) PS Chorizo is very good when poached in red wine.

Vodka will not light if cold. Either warm in a laddle or briefly fry Chorizo and add Vodka to same pan to ignite.
