Fast and fresh gluten free pork chorizo
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
3 dried guajillo chiles
4 cloves garlic, skins removed
1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound fresh ground pork
1. Heat Skillet: Heat a large, dry, cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
2. Heat Peppers: Add peppers and heat until charred on both sides, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove peppers and set aside to cool.
3. Finish Peppers: Remove stems from peppers. Using kitchen scissors, cut peppers into 1/2 inch wide rings and place in a small bowl. Cover with 1/2 cup hot water and set aside to soften for about 10 minutes or so.
4. Make Sauce: Place peppers and soaking liquid into a food processor or blender. Add garlic, paprika, salt and pepper and pulse until a paste forms, scraping down sides as needed.
5. Combine Sauce & Pork: Place pork in a medium bowl and add pepper paste. Toss to coat, being careful not to over mix the pork. Let rest at room temperature for 5 minutes or so.
6. Cook Pork: Heat skillet over medium heat and add pork, spreading out into an even layer. Cook for about 5 minutes, undisturbed, until pork starts to brown. Toss and continue browning until pork is cooked through, another 6 minutes.
7. Serve & Enjoy: Use in your favorite recipe. Enjoy!
