Cook's Notes
It is very important to keep the meat very cold throughout the grinding process. Do not reduce refrigeration time.
This recipe will yield a mildly hot Mexican chorizo designed to suit most people. For a spicier chorizo, add 5-15 crushed pequin chilies, depending on desired heat level.
Editor's Note
Aleppo peppers come from Syria and have a fruity, medium spiciness. Find them at specialty spice shops or Middle Eastern grocery stores.
