Grinding your own pork will give you the best results. I prefer to use pork shoulder (“pork butt”) or a combination of pork belly with pork loin to deliver the right amount of fat to the recipe. If you prefer your chorizo a little bit more on the spicy side, don’t be afraid to add more chili powder or even add a tablespoon of cayenne powder. The versatility of this chorizo makes it suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Adding a half pound of ground calf liver gives this chorizo an added punch of nutrition.
