Best 5 Bunuelos De Chorizo Sausage Nibbles Recipes

CHORIZO SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Break the colorin chiles into 3 pieces, and put them and the deArbol peppers in a bowl.
• Pour the boiling water over them and let them sit until they're re-hydrated and soft.
• Place the re-hydrated chiles together with the liquid into a food processor and add the garlic, oregano, cumin, black pepper, sugar, vinegar, tequila, and salt, and process until the mixture is smooth.
• Place ground pork and the liquid mixture into a sturdy electric mixer (such as a KitchenAid) and mix well.
• When secured in a sealed container, this chorizo keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. I usually let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days to let the flavors meld, then divide it into smaller portions of 3 to 4 ounces (that's about two servings) and freeze it. If you have casings, you can also stuff it into those and smoke it - very tasty!

CHORIZO TOLUQUENO

Steps:

• Place a griddle or cast ion skillet over medium heat. Tear the chiles into large flat pieces and toast them a few at a time, pressing them down with a spatula. When they blister and change color, flip over and toast the other side. Cool and transfer to a coffee grinder reserved for grinding spices. Add the coriander, cinnamon stick, clove, oregano, and peppercorns. Pulverize the spices and sift through a medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Add the nutmeg, ginger, paprika, an salt, then stir in the garlic and vinegar. Set up a meat grinder fitted with the coarse grinding plate and the sausage stuffing attachment, or use a sausage-stuffing funnel for the stuffing procedure. Mix together the pork fat, loin, and shoulder and run them through the grinder into the bowl with the spices. Mix the meat and the seasonings briefly but thoroughly with your hands. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• If the castings were packed in salt, rinse them for an hour before using. Run water from the tap through each length of casing to check for leaks; either cut the casing where it leaks or discard the piece (to be useful, a casing should be at least 30 inches long wit no leaks). Thread one end of a piece of casing over the suffer or the funnel mouth, pushing it all the way on but leaving a 3-inch overhang for tying off. Begin feeding the sausage meat through; when it first comes out, clamp off the end so that the sausage expands to a 1-inch diameter. If there is an air bubble, stop the machine and work the bubble out towards the funnel end. Feeding the sausage through the grinder in an uninterrupted flow, slowly move the casing away from the suffer as the sausage fills in a continuous 1-inch diameter link. When the sausage is about 6 inches long, pull off an extra 1 inch of casing and twist several times, completing one link and starting another. Continue until all of the sausage meat has been cased, stopping to thread more casing on as necessary.
• Either twist the links several more times to separate them, or tie pieces of string between them. Place on a rack in the refrigerator, uncovered, for about 36 hours or until dry to the touch and somewhat firm. Set a dish underneath to catch drips. Wrap in plastic and again refrigerate until ready to use.

CHORIZO PUFFS (BUNUELOS DE CHORIZO)

Steps:

• Saute the chorizo in a skillet for a couple of minutes until it starts to give off its oil. (Drain off some oil if there is a lot.) To make the dough, place in a saucepan over medium heat the water, butter and salt. When the water comes to a boil and the butter has melted, add the flour all at once. Lower the heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and beat in the eggs 1 at a time. The dough will separate, then hold together again. (This step may be done effortlessly in a food processor; once the flour has been added and forms a ball, transfer the dough to the processor. Process for 15 seconds. Add both eggs and beat for 45 seconds.) Combine the Bunuelo dough with the chorizo. (This can also be done in the processor.) (May be prepared ahead.) In a skillet heat the oil at least 1/2-inch deep to about 380 degrees F. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the oil and fry over medium hear, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels. (May be kept warm in 200 degree F oven up to 30 minutes.)

BUNUELOS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine eggs with 1/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and lemon-colored. Add the oil. Combine separately 1-1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and the salt. Gradually add this to the egg mixture and beat well.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board (use remaining 1/2 cup flour) and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.
• Shape dough into sixteen balls. Roll each one into a circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep fry pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry circles until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Store airtight.
