from mulepackin at www.baitshopboyz.com:

Basque Style Chorizo

1 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp. dried red pepper flakes
2 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. granulated sugar
2 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1 Tbsp. paprika
1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
6 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2# lean pork cut into 2-3 in. strips. (I would cube it into 1 in. cubes)
1/2 lb. fresh pork fat cut into 1" cubes
1/2 Cup hearty red wine

Combine cumin, pepper flakes, and coriander in a small skillet and shake over moderate heat until the seeds begin to crackle. Combine toasted seeds with sugar, salt, paprika, and peppercorns, then toss with pork and fat.

Grind seasoned pork through meat grinder with medium-coarse plate. Add wine and mix well.

Stuff into hog casings and link into 8 in. links. Hang in airy place for 3 to 4 hours. Use within 3-4 days or freeze.

To cook, pierce all over with a pin. Place in a large skillet with 1/2 in. water, and heat over moderate heat, turning frequently, until the water evaporates and the sausages are browned.

Man I do wish I had a grinder and stuffer just for this alone! Around here all we get is that goopy Mexcian chorizo made out salivary glands... I do miss the hard Spanish chorizo made with real meat and fat and hung to dry in a moke filled room!

Thanks Taz. That sounds delish!!! I get mine from 2Js market in G.F. but would rather make my own.
Rivit I like both kinds. The Mexican stuff is great for flavoring eggs and stuff, but thats about it.
Hotter the better bring on the peppers!
