Chorizo (Mexican Sausage)
 

Chorizo (Mexican Sausage)

This can be enjoyed formed into patties and fried or crumbled and added to
other dishes. Traditionally, chorizo is made in links; however, it is almost
always removed from the casings before use. You will find it simpler and
easier to make it in bulk. Refrigerated, chorizo will keep for at least a
week. You can freeze it for up to 3 months.

4 Dried ancho chiles
4 Dried Habanero chiles
2 lb. Wild Boar butt, with fat, coarsely ground ( use any pork butt if you
can't find wild boar)
1 Medium white onion, minced
3 Tbls. Apple cider vinegar
10 Garlic cloves, minced or put through a garlic press
2 tsp. Dried leaf Mexican oregano (preferably )
1-1/2 tsp. Ground cumin
1 Tbls. Sweet paprika
1-1/2 tsp. Salt
1-1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Ground coriander
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 300° F.
Remove stems and seeds from the chiles; cut each chile in half with scissors
and flatten the pieces.
Place the chiles, in a single layer, on a baking sheet, and roast for 5
minutes, being careful not to let them scorch, (the purpose being to remove
any moisture from the dried pods).
Break the chiles into pieces and place them in a blender; pulse until chiles
are uniformly ground.
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix.
Make sure all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before
using.

Your welcome, I like to mix a little Chorizo with my scrambled eggs. Add a
little cheese on my hash-browns and have chili beans with Habanero sauce on
the side. Good wake up for those slow mornings.
