How to cook it

Prep timer

Cooking cue

Cook pork to 145F, then rest it for 3 minutes before slicing.

  1. Prep and chill the ingredients before assembling so the finished dish stays crisp and cold.
  2. 1. Place the fresh pork sausage in a large mixing bowl and pour the vinegar over it, then blend thoroughly using a hand mixer until combined.
  3. 2. Combine all dry spices in a separate bowl, mixing well to create an even seasoning blend.
  4. 3. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the vinegar-mixed pork and use the hand mixer to incorporate everything evenly throughout the meat.
  5. 4. Portion the seasoned meat into 1/2 pound servings (or 1/4 pound if preferred) and form into patties.
  6. Cook pork to 145F, then rest it for 3 minutes before slicing.
  7. 5. Wrap portions individually and freeze any you won't use immediately; refrigerated chorizo will keep for up to 5 days before cooking.
  8. Taste before serving and adjust the salt, lemon, vinegar, or herbs so the flavors stay bright.
