Directions
1.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for another minute until golden. Raise heat to high and add red wine. Cook until wine is reduced to a glaze.
2.
Slice the roasted peppers into 1-inch-wide strips and add to skillet. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper and stir to combine and heat through.
3.
Spoon over toasted bread. Drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired.
4.
Note: To roast peppers, heat broiler. Coat broiler pan with cooking spray. Cut peppers lengthwise in quarters; remove core and seeds. Brush skin side with oil. Broil 4 inches from heat, with skin facing heat, until blackened and blistered, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 5 minutes. Peel off skin.
