CHORIZO

I love the flavor of chorizo but cannot stomach the thought of the variety meats traditionally used to make it. This is an authentic chorizo from the Mexican state of Sonora. I obtained the recipe from a gentleman named Bruce Moffitt and have since modified it slightly.

A mildly hot, and very delicious, Mexican sausage. Excellent for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Can be made into patties and cooked in a skillet, or stuffed into natural hog or collagen casings and grilled at your next family gathering.

Time 8h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless pork butt (shoulder), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 ½ tablespoons crushed Aleppo peppers
1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
½ cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place the pork, Aleppo pepper, chili powder, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, cloves, and coriander into a bowl, and lightly toss the pork with the seasonings until thoroughly blended. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the meat, your meat grinder's head assembly, and grinder hopper for 1 hour.
  • Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cubes, and place a smaller metal bowl in the ice cubes to catch the ground meat. Assemble the chilled meat grinder, and grind the pork and seasonings using a coarse cutting plate. Return ground meat to refrigerator for 30 minutes. Lightly stir the ground pork with the vinegar and water until thoroughly mixed, form into patties, and refrigerate overnight, covered, to let flavors develop.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and pan-fry the patties until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
