How to Make Chorizo Paraguayo
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Keeping the meat and the grinding equipment cold is important to prevent the fat from melting and the sausage from becoming greasy.
Chill the meat and grinder parts in the fridge for at least an hour before you start. Use the meat grinder to grind the pork into a bowl. Depending on your preference, you can use a coarse or fine grind.
If you want to add fennel seeds, grind them with the meat. Add the Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, Red pepper flakes, Paprika, and Fresh Garlic clove to the meat and mix well.
You can also add other spices or herbs that you like. Add beer and mix until the mixture is sticky.
Stuff the sausage: Soak the sausage casings in water for 30 minutes to soften them. Slide the casing onto the sausage stuffer nozzle, leaving a few inches of casing hanging off the end.
Fill the stuffer with the meat mixture and start cranking the stuffer handle to push the meat into the casing. You can twist the sausage into links as you go.
You can cook the sausage immediately or store it in the fridge or freezer. To cook the sausage, you can grill, bake, or pan-fry it until it is fully cooked and browned on the outside.
