Mexican Chorizo

[NePaSmoKer]

Got 2 lbs of 85/15 GB for some chorizo. Added 3 oz water with 1/8 t cure. Then chorizo mix and 3oz vinegar. Didnt have red wine or tequilla  :-\

Let it set covered for 24 hours. Will ad 1 T of salt tomorrow. Let for another 24 then stuff into hog casing for some smoke.

Now I'm totally confused.  I always thought Mexican chorizo was essentially "raw" seasoned (usually pork) sausage - not smoked and usually cooked just before serving.  I know Spanish, Portuguese, and some other Latin & South American varieties are smoked and can be eaten as purchased.  There's just too much to keep up with - I think I'll have a shot of tequila or three and forget about it.

Adios.

Ahora soy confundido totalmente. Yo siempre pensé que chorizo de mexicano fue en esencia "crudo" sazonar (generalmente puerco) salchicha - no fumó y cocinó generalmente poco antes de servir. Sé español, portugués, y algunos otro latín & variedades sudamericanas son fumadas y pueden ser comidas como comprado. Hay sólo mantenerse al ritmo de demasiado con - pienso que tendré un trago de tequila o tres y lo se olvidaré.

Adiós.


:D  :D  :D

You need a new keyboard.  Mine plays a short corrido, shoots off some fireworks, and signals the waiter to bring another round of cerveza and tequila.

Is the Chorizo mix a store bought mix or one you mix yourself?

could you tell me what 85/15 GB means ?
I would be interested to know where you got your chorizo mix from or did you make it yourself?

85% lean meat 15% fat.  next time you are the grocery store take a look at the ground beef and you will see all kinds 70/30, 80/20,  90/10, 96/4 etc. The type you want depends on how healthy you want to be and/or what you want to eat and enjoy.

85% lean and 15% fat.
