FAQs about chorizo
Chorizo is Mexican or Spanish pork with a distinctly different flavor from Italian or breakfast sausage. The big difference is the chilies, the pork, and the vinegar. The tangy flavor of chorizo comes from the mixture of ingredients and the fermenting process. Italian sausage is what many people are familiar with. It's made from pork seasoned with garlic, red pepper, fennel, or anise seeds. It comes either sweet or spicy, with more red pepper added to make it spicy.
The two different types of chorizo are not interchangeable, and neither one is interchangeable with sausage.
You can tell that Mexican chorizo is fully cooked when it's brown on the bottom and bubbly on the top. You'll notice the grease starting to separate when it's done. At this point, you can continue to cook it if you want to make sure it's really done. Keep cooking it until it is more brown than red.
If you want to make Mexican chorizo at home, you can mix ground pork, chili powder, paprika, oregano, cinnamon, ground cloves, ground cumin, salt, garlic, and white vinegar in a bowl. Fry it all up in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure to break up the pork as you cook it.
