chorizo...from scratch.

chorizo is popping up on menus all over the place.  


as stated in another post...i try to learn something new as frequently as possible.  so, i thought i'd try my hand at making a mexican style chorizo.  (there are two styles of chorizos. spanish chorizo comes in link form, and mexican chorizo is loose.)


first, i roasted some red onions, garlic and jalapenos in some ancho chili oil.  





after those cooled, i cranked up the ol' meat grinder and ground the pork and veggies together.  added some spices (smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and clove) and got this..



i have big plans for this stuff this week.  just wait....
