How to cook deliciously - Mexican Chorizo

1. Stage

Chill your meat grinder's head assembly and grinder hopper in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Stage

Mix pork, Aleppo peppers, chili powder, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, cloves, and coriander together in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. Stage

Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cubes; place a smaller metal bowl onto the ice cubes to catch the ground meat. Assemble the chilled meat grinder.

4. Stage

Grind pork mixture with a coarse cutting plate into the small bowl. Return ground meat to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Gently stir vinegar and water into pork mixture until thoroughly mixed. Form into eight patties, cover, and refrigerate until flavors develop, 8 hours to overnight.

6. Stage

When ready to cook, heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Pan-fry patties in batches until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
