In this article, we will be sharing with you a recipe for chorizo that you can easily make at home.
Ingredients
To make chorizo, you will need the following ingredients:
2 pounds ground pork
3 tablespoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
10-12 feet of hog casings
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, let's get started with making your own chorizo.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Add the red wine vinegar, water, and olive oil to the bowl and mix everything again until the liquid is fully incorporated into the meat mixture.
Take the hog casings and rinse them thoroughly under running water. Then soak them in a bowl of warm water for about 30 minutes to soften them up.
Next, take a handful of the meat mixture and stuff it into the hog casing. Tie off the end of the casing with a knot and continue stuffing the rest of the meat mixture into the casing, making sure to not overstuff it.
Once all the meat mixture is stuffed into the casings, twist the casings to form individual sausages. You can also use a sausage stuffer to make the process easier.
Finally, hang the sausages to dry for a few hours or overnight. This will allow the flavors to fully develop and for the sausages to dry out a bit.
Once the sausages are dry, you can either store them in the refrigerator or freeze them for later use.
