(72/365) For 119 Pictures in 2019, #96 "A Spoonful of …", This is a spoonful of homemade chorizo. Mexican chorizo, unlike the cured Spanish version, is a fresh pork sausage, heavily seasoned with ground red chile and paprika, loads of garlic, cumin, and a few other spices. Storebought versions usually contain tongue, saliva glands, and other things I’d rather not even think about, and that’s why I make it myself, which really isn’t hard. The meat is pure ground pork shoulder and pork loin, no unspeakable parts. Vecause it has a very strong flavor ( I did mention loads of garlic!) it is mostly used to season other dishes. I normally mix some in with scrambled eggs, usually as a burrito or taco filling.
