Pork & Choritzo

[johnfb]

I used diced uncooked chorizo, so there is no issue as far as I can see.
Pretty tasty too it was.

I don't doubt that. I still don't understand this though:

* Is it fresh, hot smoked, cold smoked or dried chorizo in the recipe?

* How is safety affected by the "re-usage" of sausages? What would be the maximum storage time of a "sausage-in-a-sausage"?

* Why grind a spicy sausage, mix with fresh ground meat and then season again when you can just season the ground meat and skip the ingoing sausage?

· I used dried chorizo in mine.

· As the chorizo used was shop bought & had a long BB date, I don’t see any problem & I treated the sausage I made as I would any other fresh sausage.

· I think I understand this to mean why put the chorizo in at all, well if you didn’t then it would be just plain pork sausage, which would seem to defeat the object of it being a pork & chorizo sausage.

I posted the recipe because I & everyone else who has tasted it thought it was delicious.

If your unhappy with it then don’t bother trying it, but I think that is your loss.

Aha! Dried chorizo that is. Then it makes sense. That would be impossible to duplicate with seasonings only. I thought you meant fresh chorizo. It isn't obvious in the recipe.

I'm sure it tastes well.

It's obvious to everybody else

It's obvious to everybody else

Obvious from where? Not to me and evidently not to johnfb.

I diced 200grm of smoked chorizo in with the pork and cooked it as a meatloaf.

Please refrain from commenting on whether I understand a recipe or not, Andre.
I adjusted the recipe to suit my needs added other ingredients and made a meatloaf out of it, you do seem to want to use me as some kind of strawman argument for your own purposes.
You have already irritated one member on this thread, please stop there!

How should I have known that you adjusted the recipe? The recipe does not state what kind of chorizo, and your using smoked chorizo didn't really eliminate my confusion.

I asked the question "Is it fresh, hot smoked, cold smoked or dried chorizo in the recipe?" I also raised the questions about food safety and the advantage of using a sausage in a sausage. These questions were based on the assumption of fresh chorizo. If those entries were enough to irritate the community, I'm not really sure what to say...

Do we have a language problem? In Swedish, chorizo is any kind of chorizo; fresh, hot smoked, cold smoked or dried. Is it understood in English that it is dried?

I posted twice on the changes I made, that's how you would know I changed the recipe.
I read the OP and thought the recipe looked interesting and then changed it to suit my needs...., this is far from a language issue and trying to downplay it to that is nonsense.
Use the recipe as posted or change it to suit, or don't use it at all.
I decided to dice it, that is not in the OP, so what, it's what I wanted to do.

?

I don't think it is the questions asked, as that is what we are all here for, but possibly the way in which they are asked.

Again: I'm sorry if I have irritated someone. I just wanted a clarification of the recipe and raise the question about food safety. Maybe I expressed myself bluntly. It was by no means intentional.

We are all sorted then, let's move on to more cooking.

Hi
The chorizo was shop bought, air dried, and i left it in dice.

My OH had no problem with the recipe, method or frozen storage and she is a UK trained and was practising EHO but had not done food for a while

After seeing your recipe this was my attempt. Tasted dam good a definite do again.


Pork & Chorizo 1000gm pork
170gm Chorizo, mine came from Aldi
100gm breadcrumbs
120gm water
12gm salt
2.5gr black pepper
2.5gm white pepper
5gm paprika

Chorizo (skin removed) was minced along with the pork, then was everything mixed together till sticky & stuffed into hog casings.

I made this recipe exactly as instructed (I used diced cooking chorizo sausage). . .

AMAZING! Everybody who tasted them loved them and the people who didn't taste them bought some in pure delight of their visual appeal.

A total winner of a recipe. Highly recommended!
