Mexican Fresh Chorizo

My daughter did three months work in Mexico City and came back with this recipe for a Mexican Fresh Chorizo. Everything was highly spiced with chilli including this Chorizo.!

Pork Shoulder 70% Pork Belly or Back Fat 30%

Add per kilo of meat the following;

Salt 16grams

Gound Black Pepper 2grams

Chilli Flakes 2grams

Cayenne Pepper 2grams

Oregano 1gram

White Wine Vinegar 50ml

Cold Water 50ml

Garlic Cloves x 2 finely chopped

Mince the meat through a fairly coarse plate 8mm or even 10mm depending on your preference. Add the ingredients along with garlic, white wine vinegar, and water and mix well. Stuff into a British Hog casings.

Please note this is a fresh Chorizo and is ideal for frying or cooking on a BBQ.  Spanish Chorizo is a type of Salami that is cured and air dried. (See our complete Chorizo Kit for a Spanish style Chorizo).
