Mexican Chorizo

For when you're craving something more adventurous than the Filipino "sweet" chorizo.

Ingredients

• • 2 pounds ground pork

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed Aleppo peppers, or chipotle peppers, or jalapeno peppers

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander

  • 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

• 1. Place the pork, Aleppo pepper, chili powder, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, cloves, and coriander into a bowl, and kneed until thoroughly blended.

  2. Form into patties, or stuff into "ice bags", and freeze or refrigerate at least 12 hours, covered, to let flavors develop.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and pan-fry the patties until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
