The Salami recipe was:
1.5Kg Pork medium minced
400g Pork Back Fat coarse minced
40ml Red Wine
5g Coarse milled Black Pepper
7g Coarse milled Fennel seeds
30g Salt
5g Cure#2
0.5g Starter Culture
2 Crushed Garlic Cloves
The Chorizo recipe was:
1.5Kg Pork
500g Pork Back Fat
2g Fine Milled Black Pepper
2TBS La Chinata Smoked Sweet Paprika
1TBS La Chinata Smoked Hot Paprika
30g Salt
5g Cure#2
0.5 g Starter Culture
1 Crushed Garlic Clove
All mincing was done with meat and fat still partially frozen. Then all mixed together well and stuffed into casings when mixture has reached around 4-5 degrees C.
I plan to leave them for 24-48 Hours hanging in the kitchen to allow the starter culture to do it's work. I will then transfer them to the utility room (it's brick built with no windows so at this time of the year the temperature is just right) for another six weeks or so. After the first week they'll get a quick spraying over with some penicillin culture to encourage the white mould growth.
Dave: Note: the chorizo recipe originally had 1tsp citric acid added but this is now omitted due to the sausage turning out crumbly .
