So yes total newb question and mistake. I made the Spanish Chorizo Ruhlman recipe and am pretty sure I didn't add the kosher salt. It has already fermented. I'm guessing I should just throw it out? Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
It would be my inclination to do so; salt is the first safety hurdle in making dry cured sausage. The initial addition of salt drops the water activity down to 0.96-0.98 which slows bacterial growth.

Welcome.
I agree with NCPaul. I'd start again.

If the fermentation has only just started the salt should be evident by taste. Could the meat have gone bad already? A tiny taste shouldn't harm you. If there is no salt taste, then lesson learned and get it in to the city dump.
