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.
Ingredients
- 500 grams minced pork, (1 lb)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chili powder, (4 tablespoons US chili powder, 2 tablespoons Thai chili powder)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, cover and place in the fridge overnight. This photo is after it had been in the fridge for 1 half days, the smell is wonderful.
- Form into patties or just crumble and fry.
- When the Chorizo is cooked, drop in a few eggs.
- Served.
Notes
Minced pork is about 110 Baht per kilo, 500 grams would be 55 Baht. Can easily make 4 servings from this for a cost of 40 cents per serving.

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.
