CJ's Chorizo Recipe
Chorizo is a chile and garlic flavored Mexican sausage.
Chorizo was originally derived from the Spanish sausage
of the same name, but has evolved over the last few centuries
to be distinctly Mexican. The chorizo found in Spain and Cuba
are similar but in the form of summer sausage, (cured and hard}
It is highly flavored, so a little goes a long way. It is convenient if it is
wrapped and frozen in small packages. Chorizo is great for breakfast. Thaw
out a package, fry it up lightly while breaking it up, and when fried, scramble
in a few eggs.
Below is a recipe I got from my high school buddies Father, I added a little
but it’s basically the same recipe.
