10 lb boneless pork butt
6 tbsp salt
1 cup vinegar
5 tbsp paprika
3 tbsp hot ground pepper
8 large buds fresh garlic
1 tbsp oregano
2 tsp black coarse pepper
1 cup water
Directions
Grind all the pork butts thru a 1/4" grinding plate and place into a
mixer. Add all the ingredients and mix well until all the spices are
evenly distributed. Chorizo is to be stuffed into a 40-42 MM hog
casing. Place on smoke sticks and let dry in cooler overnight. This
particular sausage takes much longer to dry than most others.

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
