Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together the parsley, olive oil, smoked paprika and garlic in a small bowl. Lay the puff pastry sheets flat on a work surface and cut one sheet in half; reserve one of the halves for another use. Rub the parsley mixture evenly over the 1 1/2 pastry sheets. Cut the one whole pastry sheet crosswise into thirds, then cut each third crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Cut the half sheet crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips, as well.
- Place a piece of chorizo on the end of one dough strip and roll the chorizo in the dough as you would a cinnamon bun. Press firmly at the seam to seal, then place the chorizo roll, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chorizo and dough strips, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each chorizo roll on the baking sheet (you will have a few extra dough strips).
- Bake the chorizo rolls until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.

CHORIZO PUFFS (BUNUELOS DE CHORIZO)
Steps:
- Saute the chorizo in a skillet for a couple of minutes until it starts to give off its oil. (Drain off some oil if there is a lot.) To make the dough, place in a saucepan over medium heat the water, butter and salt. When the water comes to a boil and the butter has melted, add the flour all at once. Lower the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and beat in the eggs 1 at a time. The dough will separate, then hold together again. (This step may be done effortlessly in a food processor; once the flour has been added and forms a ball, transfer the dough to the processor. Process for 15 seconds. Add both eggs and beat for 45 seconds.) Combine the Bunuelo dough with the chorizo. (This can also be done in the processor.) (May be prepared ahead.) In a skillet heat the oil at least 1/2-inch deep to about 380 degrees F. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the oil and fry over medium hear, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels. (May be kept warm in 200 degree F oven up to 30 minutes.)

CHORIZO AND MANCHEGO PUFFS

Yield about 35 to 40 puffs
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- For the puffs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the water, butter, and salt in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the butter melts. Stir in all the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon. Stir and cook until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. The mixture will be in a tight ball and not stick to the sides or bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the dough to the bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 or 4 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all the eggs have been added and the mixture is smooth, turn off the mixer and remove the bowl.
- Spoon half the dough into a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Don't fill the bag completely. Twist the top of the bag so that the dough will not leak out. (To pipe out the dough, gently squeeze out the amount you want, then release.)
- On a sheet tray lined with parchment paper, squeeze out 1-inch size dough balls, about 2 inches apart. Form more balls on another sheet pan, if needed.
- Place in the oven and bake until they're golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- For the filling: In a food processor, pulse the chorizo until finely chopped, but not a paste. No large chunks. Transfer to a bowl, stir in the mascarpone, manchego, pimenton, and chives. Stir until well combined. Taste and add salt, if needed.
- Place the filling in another pastry bag outfitted with a small straight tip. Poke a hole in the side of each puff with the pastry bag tip and gently fill each puff with the filling and serve.
