Instructions:

Preheat the stove to 150 degrees. Remove the stems and seeds from the chilies and cut them in half lengthwise, flattening the halves.

Place side by side on parchment paper and bake for 5 min to remove any moisture from them. Do not burn! Break into pieces and pulverize in a hand mixer.

Mix all ingredients well in a large baking bowl so that spices are evenly distributed. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using.

This spicy and aromatic staple of Mexican cuisine is best enjoyed by forming it into cookies and frying it or adding it in chunks to other dishes. Traditionally, of course, chorizo is made in rings, which are then usually peeled before use. However, for home use it is more convenient to make only the sausage meat.

Chorizo can be kept refrigerated for at least 1 week, and frozen for about 3 months.

Tip: Cook only with high-quality spices – they are the be-all and end-all in a good dish!
