Step 1
Prick the chouriço all over with a fork to help release oils during cooking.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add chouriço and sear 4–5 minutes without moving until the surface is deeply browned and charred.
Step 4
Turn sausage over and sear another 3 minutes on the second side until charred.
Step 5
Scatter smashed garlic and bay leaf around the sausage, then pour in wine.
Step 6
Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until wine reduces by half and becomes syrupy.
Step 7
Season the liquid with salt and pepper. Tilt the pan and spoon the wine-garlic sauce over the sausage.
Step 8
Transfer chouriço to a cutting board, slice into 1/2-inch rounds, and serve with the garlic-wine pan sauce.
