Chorizo


2 pounds Ground beef
2 pounds Ground pork
3 tablespoons Salt
2 tablespoons Oregano
2 teaspoons Pepper
3 teaspoons Garlic
1 3/4 cups Vinegar
2 cups Chile Powder
2 teaspoons Cumin seed

A very greasy Mexican sausage. This is a leaner version that is good
with scrambled eggs, tortilla and salsa to create Huevos Rancheros.

Pour some water in chile powder and mix to make a paste; add garlic.



Crush oregano and cumin seed together. Combine meats in a large
bowl and add the oregano-cumin seed mixture, salt and pepper mixing
well.

Add the vinegar and mix. Add chili-garlic mixture and mix well. I have
not made this but my husband has and it is very good. I doubt that the
method of putting it together is very critical as long as you get it mixed
well.

When you have it mixed well fry a small patty of it too see if it is what
you want and then you can correct the seasonings to your own taste so
far as garlic, chile and such.

This is what they did when we went to a sausage making party several
years back. A fun type party!
