Chorizo

I make mine hotter but this is a good starter recipe.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 1 pound

Ingredients

• 1  lb  ground lean pork
• 1  large onion
• 2  garlic cloves
• 1  jalapeno
• 1  teaspoon dried oregano (mexican if you can find it)
• 1  teaspoon cumin
• 1  teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Directions

1. Put everything except the pork in a food processor and puree.
2. Add 1/2 the pork, pulse, add remaining pork and pulse to mix well.
3. Remove and wrap in waxed paper, then plastic wrap.
4. I like to chill this for a day or two to let the spices do their thing!
5. Salt to taste-I like this with alot of salt however 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons is a good start.
