Pork Chorizo Recipes?

I did not want to take over this post, but I will say. I am Mexican. So are both of my parents. I did google Chorizo recipes and not one included Glands and Lymph nodes. They are all pork roast, pork tenderloin. My Grandmother was considered one of the best Mexican food cooks in Austin until her death. I know what I am talking about.

I am completely offended by Wendy's post. First of all it is not true. Chorizo is made with pork roast. If cheek meat were to be used, I will guarantee you it tastes just like the regular meat. Glands would never be used..

Our family has been making chorizo for generations.

We eat it in all types of food. You just have to be careful not to over use it in a recipe, because it can over whelm your dish.

Is it the dried or the soft corizo? If it is dried you can use it on pizza or serve it with cheese on any dish. A tiny bit in Mac and cheese is very good.(children may find it spicy)

If it is soft, you can use it the way you use breakfast sausage, precook and then drain any of the fat. We like to eat it cooked with scrambled eggs on tortillas. Again can be sprinkled on Pizza or other dishes when you just was a small amount of meat.

wow, i hate to harsh your munchies, but have you read the ingredients? some chorizo has really gross stuff in it .. like glands and cheeks and lymph nodes. i quit eating it after i found out what was in it. if it has anything gross in it my favorite thing to do with it is throw it away!!

TO LAURIE A...just like i said to you in the private post reply you need to google chorizo and see what 's in it before you rag on someone. THATS WHY I SAID TO READ THE LABEL...authentic mexican chorizo is made with all the gross stuff....THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT THAT AT ALL... it is what it is...people all over the world have used every scrap of an animal for centuries....may you have a less offensive day tomorrow...

I cook it with eggs (just make sure you cook the chorizo all the way first and then add the eggs). Sometimes I'll add it to my meatloaf too, it adds a little spice.

My absolute favorite way is to brown it like loosemeat, drain the oil, then scramble eggs in it. The more eggs you add, the milder the flavor. I put it in warm tortillas and top with a little shredded cheddar. YUM!
