I love the taste of chorizo. I recently learned that Mexican chorizo is completely different than the hard Spanish sausage variety and I wanted to make it. It uses Ancho chile powder, which adds a kick but is not as spicy as other types of chillies commonly used in Mexican cooking. Once made, it can be added to salads, tacos, frijoles charros, chiles rellenos, soups or eaten on its own - I made it into meat balls and served them as an appetiser. Chorizo also freezes well, so you can use make a big batch and use it at a later date. See the ingredient list below for substitutes if you can't find Ancho chile powder.

3. Put minced pork in bowl and add vinegar and half of the spice mix. Mix with your hands until the spices are well combined with the meat - the meat will start turning the characteristic dark red. Keep adding the rest of spice mix little by little, mixing with your hands until all the spice is used up. Please note that if you are using very hot chilli in your substitution, this may burn your hands so be ready to put on plastic gloves :)
