Spanish Chorizo

Spanish Chorizo

Spanish Chorizo is a firm, drier sausage than Mexican Chorizo. A plate of Chorizo with a couple of sunny side up eggs on top, real hash browns on the side, makes me hungry! I made this on (cooked rather) the Chorizo on 19 Nov 2016, and it is excellent! Even got two thumbs up from my wife! I prepared the Chorizo on 17 Nov. Keep in mind this is not true Spanish Chorizo but a pretty good knock off in my opinion. The chorizo offered in some stores is Thailand will be of the Spanish type.

  1. I cooked this on 19 Nov 2016, prepared the Chorizo on the 17th and let it sit in the fridge to blend the flavors. Excellent flavor! I even got two thumbs up from my wife so this now goes in the #1 Go-To listing. I ground the pork myself then mixed in the spices, when I make this again I will add the spices to cut meat, mix, then will grind twice to really get the spice mixed in. This is not proper Chorizo but recommended for a great spicy sausage.
