Chorizo Recipe

[SonOfAButcher]

Since retirement, I've been experimenting with different sausage recipes. I wanted to smoke some chorizo, so this is what I have come up with.
2# medium grind pork butt.
2 dried ancho chilis,1 dried guadillo, and 2 dried arbols.
2TBS granulated roasted garlic.
1TBS onion powder
1TBS oregano
1TBS cumin
2TSP coriander
2TSP kosher salt
2TBS lime juice
3/4 cup ice water
1/2TSP Instacure #1
I let the chilis soak for 15-20 minutes in the water and lime juice. I them put them in a food processor and made a paste I added the spices, and mixed well.
Stuffed into 29mm-32mm natural hog casing.
I fried some in a skillet, and the flavor is good...I will put them in the smoker tomorrow after they dry a bit in the fridge..

Recipe looks dynamite. I would like to make some chorizo tacos with it. The key is to get is nice and carmelized in a pan. Let us know how it tastes after smoking.

Those look good. Betting some smoke makes them great.

Like the idea of lime juice. I always use apple cider vinegar as my acid in chorizo.

Thanks for posting the recipe. I've been wanting to make my own sausage ever since I got a meat grinder but because it's new territory, I haven't pulled the trigger. Your sausages look great.
