Chorizo sausage recipe - about this recipe

When making this recipe I use the chorizo sausages immediately (as they are so good). I have not tried drying or preserving them in any way, though I guess it would be possible. For this reason, I don't bother to get the casings, I just make the sausages like patties or burgers.

Servings

Make 4 sausages

Ingredients

• 1.5 tablespoons sherry vinegar
• 1 large dried poblano chili, stalk removed
• 4 fresh habanero chillies, stlaks removed or 3 teaspoons hot chili powder
• 675 g 91.5 lb) lean pork (pork fillet is good here) , chopped coarsely
• 1 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1 tablespoon paprika powder or smoked paprika powder if you can find it
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoons ground cloves

Method

1. Add the spices, chillies and the vinegar to a small blender attachment and grind to a paste. A mortar and pestle will do the job, just takes a bit more work!
2. Add the pork and the spice paste to a food processor and pulse blend until you have a coarse mix. Don't overdo this or you will end up with pate which is not what you need
3. Roll into sausage shapes or flat patties
4. Pre-heat the oven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5)
5. Cook for 20 minutes on a lightly oiled oven tray
6. Verify the meat is cooked properly as it is pork remember

Serving suggestions

Variations

Adjust the amount of chili to your personal taste. I like mine quite hot.
