HOMEMADE MEXICAN CHORIZO



Homemade Mexican Chorizo image

Mexican chorizo is a little different than its Spanish cousin, but equally delicious. Use these sausages as you would any spicy sausage, or use the loose sausage meat to make tacos for a flavor-packed change from regular old ground pork. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Time 2h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

15 dried red chile peppers, seeded
2 ¼ pounds boneless, skinless pork butt, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
7 ounces pork fat, cut into 1/2-inc cubes
5 whole allspice berries
5 whole cloves
¼ cup cider vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
1 hog casing

Steps:

  • Place chile peppers in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak until softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place pork butt and pork fat in the freezer for 30 minutes. Chill meat grinder in the freezer to make grinding the meat easier.
  • Grind allspice berries and cloves using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Set aside.
  • Drain chile peppers and place in a food processor or blender. Add vinegar and puree until smooth.
  • Fit the chilled meat grinder with a medium plate. Pass the partially frozen pork and fat through the grinder. Combine ground meat with pureed chile peppers, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and cumin in a bowl. Mix well with your hands for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, soak casing in cold water for about 30 minutes. Place the wide end of a small sausage-stuffing funnel up against the sink tap and run cold water through the inside of the casing.
  • Use the medium sausage-stuffing funnel attachment and place casing on the outside of the tube. Start passing meat mixture through the funnel, stopping just as it starts to come out the other end. Tie the casing into a knot at the end, then continue passing the meat mixture through the funnel, supporting the sausage with your other hand. Once the meat mixture is finished, tie the other end of the casing into a knot.
  • Twist the casing at regular intervals to create individual links, alternating between twisting in opposite directions. Poke 2 to 3 small holes into each sausage with a metal skewer to allow air to escape during cooking.
  • Cook as desired or chill in the fridge for up to 3 days.

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.
