Pork Chorizo Sausage Mix Food

PORK CHORIZO SAUSAGE MIX

Steps:

• IMPORTANT NOTE:.
• Please make sure to choose a fatty piece of pork and ask your butcher to grind it for you. If you use the lean ground pork ready-to-go in the supermarket then your sausage will be dry with an almost gritty consistency. I find the boneless country ribs have a great fat to meat ratio.
• DIRECTIONS:.
• Combine ingredients with pork. Use your blender or food processor to grind mix until smooth -- you will have to stop it and stir frequently.
• IF YOU WANT TO MAKE LINKS:.
• You will need 1 yard sausage casing.
• Stuff the mixture through the sausage stuffer into the casings and twist into links.
• Dry the sausages by hanging them in a cool place, it may then be kept for several weeks.

CHORIZO SAUSAGE SEASONING MIX

Steps:

• Blend the pork, pork fat, and seasonings together. Refrigerate 1-2 days to allow the spices and meat to infuse together.
• With the cold coarse attachment of the meat grinder work the seasoned pork through the grinder. Send 1/2 of the mixture through the grinder a second time. Mix thoroughly. Stuff the casings using a funnel and tie at desired link size. Prick the sausages so they do not burst while cooking.

MEXICAN CHORIZO

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.

JIM'S PORK CHORIZO

Steps:

• Mix ground pork, salt, chili powder, ground cloves, paprika, garlic, oregano and vinegar together thoroughly. Store in air-tight container in refrigerator for 4 days before using, to let spices blend together.

CHORIZO SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Break the colorin chiles into 3 pieces, and put them and the deArbol peppers in a bowl.
• Pour the boiling water over them and let them sit until they're re-hydrated and soft.
• Place the re-hydrated chiles together with the liquid into a food processor and add the garlic, oregano, cumin, black pepper, sugar, vinegar, tequila, and salt, and process until the mixture is smooth.
• Place ground pork and the liquid mixture into a sturdy electric mixer (such as a KitchenAid) and mix well.
• When secured in a sealed container, this chorizo keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. I usually let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days to let the flavors meld, then divide it into smaller portions of 3 to 4 ounces (that's about two servings) and freeze it. If you have casings, you can also stuff it into those and smoke it - very tasty!
