Argentinian Chorizo / Bratwurst

[bacon_crazy510]

I decided to make more sausage on Saturday - I saw an Argentinian Chorizo recipe I wanted to try, and a coworker at my new company likes the brats I made, so he ordered a gang of them.

I altered the Chorizo recipe and added Cilantro to the mix. It added a good "herbaceous note" to the final product.

I added pepperjack cheese to half of the brats. This was a special request, and while I wouldn't have normally added cheese to this sausage, I like how they turned out, and will definitely do it again.

And a recommendation to anyone in need of a vacuum packing solution... I ordered the "Meat" vacuum chamber sealer 2 weeks ago when it was on sale. I am very impressed with the quality and performance of the unit. It is a large capital invesent, but with the amount of vacuum packing I do it was well worth it, if only for the reduced cost of the bags. It is a joy to use.

That's a great set up you have there. And the sausages look great also

The chorizo brought me here , what makes them Argentinian. I would be interested in the difference as I like to make Mexican Chorizo.

Thanks

The name? Lol...

It's a combo of pork, beef and bacon. The seasoning was simple... Salt, black pepper, a ton of garlic and my addition of Cilantro. Oh, and red wine... For "authenticity" I used an Argentinian Cabernet.

This sausage is eaten as "choripan". The sausage is grilled over coals and eaten on a roll with chimicurri.

Ha Ha the name. Got me there

Sounds good. So you make them as fresh , no Cure#1 in them at all
Guess I was thinking maybe a list of what you use , Thanks.

They look great, much heat to the chorizo, mine does not just good flavor, with a tang of vinegar

Thank you

Those brats have beautiful color. And I am very jealous of that vac sealer.
