Can Chorizo Be Made with Meats Other Than Pork? - Iberian Wonders

Combine ground pork and pork fat in a large bowl.

Add paprika, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and salt to the meat mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix red wine vinegar, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and sugar.

Pour the vinegar mixture into the meat mixture and combine thoroughly.

Add onion powder, thyme, and bay leaves to the mixture.

Knead the mixture until well combined and sticky, about 2-3 minutes.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and shape it into links or patties.

Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Serve hot with tortillas, in tacos, or as part of a larger dish.
