While the potatoes are boiling, sauté the chorizo in a little olive oil (how much will depend on how fatty the chorizo is and also what kind of pan you use — I needed a fair amount as I was using stainless steel).

qroqqa commented on the word chorizo
An unusual pronunciation seems to have arisen in Britain: tʃəˈrɪtsəʊ, as if influenced by 'pizza'. (But why the short i?) I've heard it often enough now that I can say this is the usual pronunciation, at least in my bit of London. The Spanish would normally give tʃəˈriːθəʊ in English, which is how I say it, or at least tʃəˈriːzəʊ or tʃəˈriːsəʊ.

Hmm. I've heard it most commonly pronounced "chor-EE-zo." Without the pizza effect.
(Apologies if I read your phonetics wrong.)
