Notes

Feel free to swap the chorizo for diced ham or smoked sausage for a different flavor. For a vegetarian option, use sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers instead of meat. If you have dairy restrictions, substitute liquid cream with coconut cream. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers and reheat the butternut cream gently on low heat. Consider garnishing with extra herbs or chili-infused olive oil for an elegant presentation!
