MEXICAN CHORIZO RECIPE
You need not case this sausage. I often make it loose, as most Mexican recipes call for uncased chorizo anyway. In this case, there is no need to let the finished sausage rest overnight. Many Mexican chorizo recipes use vinegar, too, but this damages the sausage's ability to bind to itself. Use vinegar (any kind) instead of ice water, if you are not casing your links.

Steps:
- Cut the meat and fat into chunks that will fit into your meat grinder. Combine the salt, sugar and all the dry spices (except for the achiote paste) with the meat and fat, mix well with your hands and chill it until it's almost frozen by putting it in the freezer for an hour or so.
- Take out some hog casings and set in a bowl of very warm water. Mix the ice water with the achiote paste and chill it in the fridge.
- Grind the meat mixture through your meat grinder (you can use a food processor in a pinch, but you will not get a fine texture), using the fine die, about 4.5 mm. If your room is warm, set the bowl for the ground meat into another bowl of ice to keep it cold. Make sure the meat mixture is very cold before moving on to the next step: You want it between 27°F and 35°F.
- Add the water-achiote mixture and mix thoroughly either using a Kitchenaid on low for 60 to 90 seconds or with your (very clean) hands. This is important to get the sausage to bind properly. Once it is mixed well, put it back in the fridge and clean up.
- Stuff the sausage into the casings all at once. Twist off links by pinching the sausage down and twisting it around several times; do every other link and you will only have to twist in one direction. Or you could tie them off with butcher's string.
- Hang the sausages in a cool place for up to overnight (the colder it is, the longer you can hang them). If it is warm out, hang for just one hour. Once they have dried a bit, put in the fridge until needed. They will keep for at least a week in the fridge. If you are freezing the sausages, wait a day before doing so. This will tighten up the sausages and help them keep their shape in the deep-freeze.

Steps:
- Prepare the casing.
- Soak the casing in cold water for 30 minutes to soften, then run water through it to remove excess salt and check for leaks. (You can buy casings from most butchers.)
- Blend the chiles.
- Remove the seeds from the chipotles, and finely chop in a food processor with the garlic, vinegar and tequila.
- Chop the pork.
- Cut any silver skin off the pork butt, then cut it into 3-inch chunks.
- Grind the meat.
- Grind the pork in a meat grinder (or mixer with a grinder attachment) with a 316-inch die. Use the feed tube to push the meat through gently.
- Season the meat.
- First, "de-bling" (take off your rings!); you'll be mixing with your hands. Combine the dry spices-cumin, salt, chili powders, onion, paprika, oregano and white pepper-in a small bowl. Then season the pork in layers: Place half the ground meat in a large bowl, cover with half the spice mixture and half the garlic-vinegar mixture, then add the rest of the meat, spices and garlic mixture. Combine everything with your hands; it's the best way to make sure all the meat gets seasoned.
- Thread the casing.
- Remove the die from the grinder and attach the sausage-stuffing tube, then slide the whole casing onto the tube, leaving enough at the end to tie into a tight knot.
- Stuff the casing.
- With the mixer on low, gently feed the sausage mixture into the tube, using one hand to guide the casing out at the right speed; be careful not to overstuff or tear the casing.
- Form the links.
- Turn off the mixer after you get about 3 to 4 feet of sausage and cut and tie off the casing. Retie the casing on the stuffing tube and continue making the remaining sausage. Pinch and then twist the long pieces of sausage about every 8 inches to form links. Place the linked sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate overnight to dry.
- Grill the sausage.
- Preheat one side of a grill to medium-high and the other to low. Lightly brush the grill with oil, then grill the sausages until they're browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Move to low heat and continue grilling until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 more minutes.
HOMEMADE MEXICAN CHORIZO
I love choizo, but who knows what is in the commercially prepared kind? This homemade Mexican chorizo is delicious with scrambled eggs served in a flour tortilla. I usually prepare this chorizo with ground turkey.

HOMEMADE MEXICAN CHORIZO
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.

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.

Steps:
- SLOW ROASTED PORK: Season a pork butt with cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic, cooked at 225°F for 6 hours. In a dry skillet heated on high, or hot oven, toast the chiles on each side for about 10 seconds or just until they start to puff. Fill the skillet with enough water to cover chiles. Leave the heat on until water begins to boil and then turn off the heat and let chiles soak until soft, about 30 minutes. After chiles are moist, drain the water and place the chiles and vinegar in a blender, also adding the diced onion and chopped garlic. Puree until a smooth, bright red paste is formed (can add a splash of water or vinegar if it's too dry to blend). It should look like ketchup. I prefer the slow roasted pork rather than fresh ground pork for storage and food safety reasons. Finely dice cooked pork to almost ground pork texture. Add the chile purée to the ground pork, along with the rest of the spices. Mix well. To test the flavors, pinch off a small piece and fry it up in a skillet for a minute or so. Taste it and add more spices if needed. You can let it sit for a few hours so the flavors will meld, but I find it's delicious just after making as well. Will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, and it freezes nicely. My preference is a little spicier so I upped the cayenne and added the black pepper to the basic recipe
CHORIZO BURGER
I normally use homemade Mexican chorizo and home ground venison for this, but store-bought ground beef, bison, turkey or pork will work, as will store-bought chorizo.

Steps:
- Start by heating the 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and let this cook, stirring often, until the onion has nicely browned. Turn off the heat and set aside when it's ready.
- If you are starting from fresh peppers, you will need to roast, peel and deseed them. This is a good tutorial on that, or you can use canned or pre-frozen roasted chiles.
- Add all the ingredients for the mayo and puree. Add salt to taste. You will have some left over, so keep it in a container in the fridge, where it will last a couple weeks.
- Mix the ground meats together and knead well so they combine cohesively. Form into balls and slightly flatten them. If you are grilling, just form normal patties and grill. What follows is for a smashburger.
- Get a comal or griddle or large frying pan hot. Add the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Set one of the balls of meat in the center of the oil, and use it to spread the oil around a little. Slick the underside of a bacon press or other pan with some oil. Press the meat into a patty of about 1/2 inch thick, more or less. Hold the pressure for about 30 seconds, then slide the bacon press off the patty to the side. Don't lift straight up or the patty will break. Salt the patty as it cooks.
- Let the meat cook for about 90 seconds more, then flip. Salt the other side. Add some onions to the middle of the patty and top with a slice of cheese. I like to put a metal bowl over the burger now to melt the cheese. Let this sit for another minute to 2 minutes, depending on how well cooked you like your burgers. While this is happening, lay the lettuce leaves on your buns and top with a little of the mayo.
- To build the burger, set the patty on the bun, then top with some of the roasted chiles and some more mayo. Serve at once. You can also layer like this: patty, onions, green chiles, then cheese. The greenery always touches the bun, and the mayo or other sauce goes on between lettuce and burger. °

CHORIZO AND EGGS
You can serve Chorizo and eggs for breakfast as they go well with a nice cup of coffee. Chorizo, which is a Mexican sausage that is slightly spicy, is the main meat used in this dish. The seasonings used in Chorizo include hot peppers, oregano, onions, and garlic. In this dish, you pair eggs with Chorizo sausages. You can cook the eggs in any style, but you typically eat them scrambled.

Steps:
- During the first step, heat your stovetop to medium heat and add your butter to the pan on the heat.
- Gather all the vegetables in the ingredients list and dice them into small cubes. Add the cubes of vegetables to your pan with butter and let it simmer for a minimum of four minutes. With the spatula, move the vegetables around.
- Before chopping up the meat, clean your board by cleaning it with water and soap to prevent contamination. Cut your Chorizo sausage into small sections and place them into your pan. Let the combination simmer together for five more minutes in your pan.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs into the bowl. Add the milk and combine the salt and pepper in the bowl. Whisk the mixture until it is frothy and it is entirely smooth.
- In the final step, add the egg mixture to your warm pan. Once you add the egg mixture, lower the stovetop temperature under your pan to medium-low. Let it cook for 1 minute or until the edges are golden brown. After this occurs, take the spatula and break apart the egg mixture to make a scrambled egg.

- Use a damp paper towel to wipe down the dried chili peppers. Toast the stemmed and seeded chili peppers until pliable (about 1 minute on each side) in a hot pan. Transfer them to a large non-reactive bowl (stainless steel, glass, or plastic), layer the chopped onion and garlic on top. Heat the vinegar (either in the microwave or on a stove top) until very warm to the touch. Pour over the chili peppers, onions, and garlic and lay a plate on top to weigh them down. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let set at room temperature for an hour.
- Transfer all of the peppers, onions, garlic, vinegar, cumin, oregano, salt, cinnamon and black pepper to a blender and process until you have a smooth, thick paste. If necessary, add another splash of vinegar to help things move along. Let cool completely.
- When the chili paste is completely cool, mix thoroughly into the ground pork with the remaining ingredients using your hands until everything is a uniform colour.
- Divide into one-meal portions and put each portion into an appropriately sized zipper top bag (For portions up to 3/4 of a pound, use a quart freezer bag. For portions up to 2 pounds in size, use a gallon freezer bag.) Squeeze as much air out as you can, seal the bag, and squash the bags as flat as you can. This will help them to freeze easily, take up less precious freezer space, and thaw more quickly when needed.
