aarón’s chorizo

MAKES 2 POUNDS

1 pound ground beef chuck

1 pound ground pork

3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped

1 tablespoon salt ¼ cup white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon ground canela (Mexican cinnamon), or ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground star anise

½ teaspoon ground cloves

2 tablespoons crushed dried oregano (preferably Mexican)

¼ cup dry white wine

1 teaspoon sugar

½ cup ancho chile powder

1. Put the ground beef and pork in a large bowl. Add the garlic, salt, and vinegar and mix well (your hands are the best tools for this job). Sprinkle with the pepper, canela, star anise, cloves, and oregano and mix well. Add the wine and sugar and mix well.

2. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Put the chile powder in a small bowl, pour in the boiling water, and stir well to make a paste. Let it cool to room temperature. Work the paste into the meat with your fingers until it’s well incorporated. Cover and refrigerate overnight before you use it. Store in 2-ounce portions in ziplock bags in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months. (That’s the perfect amount for 3 eggs!)
