Jims Pork Chorizo Recipes

Steps:

• Mix ground pork, salt, chili powder, ground cloves, paprika, garlic, oregano and vinegar together thoroughly. Store in air-tight container in refrigerator for 4 days before using, to let spices blend together.

Steps:

• Blend the pork, pork fat, and seasonings together. Refrigerate 1-2 days to allow the spices and meat to infuse together.
• With the cold coarse attachment of the meat grinder work the seasoned pork through the grinder. Send 1/2 of the mixture through the grinder a second time. Mix thoroughly. Stuff the casings using a funnel and tie at desired link size. Prick the sausages so they do not burst while cooking.

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, mix the pork, salt, pepper, chile powder, garlic, oregano, coriander, cumin and vinegar thoroughly. Refrigerate, in an airtight container, overnight. This allows the flavors to meld. The chorizo may also be frozen.

Steps:

• 1 Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in a casserole dish with a lid and spend a good 10 mins browning the pork on all sides. If your casserole dish isn't wide enough to fit the pork in a single layer then brown it in batches. Scoop the pork out and set aside then add the chorizo and sizzle for a minute. Add the vegetables, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, garlic and herbs and cook for about 5 mins until the vegetables are soft and just starting to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and stir in the tomato purée then splash in the vinegar and bubble for a moment. Tip in the tomatoes and a can of water. Stir the pork and juices into the sauce, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.
• Cover the dish with a lid and place in the oven for 1 hr 45 mins, checking occasionally and if the sauce becomes too thick add a splash more water. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the chickpeas and return to the oven for 15 mins. Remove again and leave to cool slightly so it's not scorching hot then stir through the parsley. Taste for seasoning and serve with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.

Steps:

• Put the flour into a plastic bag and add the pork ( dividing into two lots is better) shake in bag and take out the meat shaking off any extra flour.
• Heat most of the oil in a large skillet on medium to high adding the meat and seal then place the meat in a casserole dish.
• Add the remaining oil and cook the onion, garlic, celery and capsicum, chilli and the chorizo a for a few minutes until it starts to get soft then add the paprika, tomatoes, wine and the chicken stock. simmer for a minute or two, and season with salt and pepper.
• Add to the pork and either cook in a moderate oven for 1 1/2 hours or in your microwave, starting on high for 2-3 minutes then set on simmer for 30 minutes.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and vegetables - or with rice.

Steps:

• Pour tinned tomatoes into saucepan and chop small. (I use scissors for a more rustic look once cooked)
• Peel and half a small onion and add place into saucepan. Peel garlic cloves and add to saucepan whole. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Leave to simmer gently for 20 minutes before beginning on pork.
• Roast pork chops in oven at 200c for around 25-30 minutes.

• Spoon thick sauce over the pork chops and serve with potatoes or veg of your choice.

Steps:

• Remove from the pan with the juices and keep warm.
• Rinse the pan and spray with oil.
• Add the onion, garlic, chopped chorizo, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and cook for 2 to 4 minutes.

• Add the sherry and the stock and allow the vegetables to cook for a minute or so, then return the ribs to the pan with all the juices and bring the ribs back to heat, and simmer for a further 10 to 15 minutes untill your chops are tender.
• Plate up your chops, then add the cream to the pan mix well and bring back to simmer.
