A.C. Legg Chorizo Seasoning for Sausage - 16 Ounce
Category: sausage seasoning
Chorizo, a sausage infused with chili and garlic, is a beloved staple in both Mexico and the American Southwest. However, many commercially available varieties often rely on beef byproducts, such as salivary glands, which can deter some consumers. To enjoy a more appealing option, consider making your own Chorizo Sausage using pork. Boneless pork butts make an excellent choice for this homemade version.
To create your Chorizo, simply season your pork and then stuff it into natural hog casings to form sausage links. If you prefer, you can also package the prepared sausage into 1 lb. bulk freezer bags for easier storage. For an extra kick, you may optionally mix in 1 pint of 5% acidity vinegar with the meat and seasoning.
A 16 oz. bag of seasoning can flavor up to 25 pounds of meat, without any added MSG, ensuring a wholesome and tasty result. When preparing your mixture, combine the seasoning bag with 25 lbs. of meat. While it’s best to use 25 lbs. of lean pork—such as boneless pork shoulder butts—it's also possible to mix in 3 lbs. of lean beef if that fits your preference better.
To achieve optimal flavor, empty the entire seasoning bag into your meat, mixing thoroughly. For best results, consider cutting the meat into small chunks before mixing to ensure even seasoning throughout.
Legg's exclusive high-barrier, multi-wall packaging not only retains the freshness and flavor of the seasoning but also guarantees its quality for at least 12 months.
If you’re looking to create a smaller batch than 25 lbs., the breakdown is straightforward: just remember that 1 oz. of seasoning is enough for 1.5 lbs. of meat. For measuring, 2 tablespoons equal 1 ounce, making it easy to adjust your quantities depending on the amount of meat you have on hand.
By preparing your own Chorizo at home, you can avoid undesirable ingredients found in commercial products while enjoying its vibrant flavors in your culinary creations. Whether you choose to link it up or freeze it for later, this homemade sausage will surely be a hit in your kitchen.
