Chorizo Verde
"HAD to have this. This really rocks. I got this from Rick Bayless on PBS.
Not your typical Chorizo as they swap out the red spices for fresh herbs roasted Polano Chiles. I did make my own as I had a few pork roasts in the freezer. If you do it this way, pulse SMALL cuts in the food processor or you will get pureed pork."

3 cups
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1 large fresh poblano chile
- 1 -2 fresh serrano chili, stemmed and roughly chopped
- 1 medium bunch cilantro
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground pork
- 2 teaspoons salt
directions
- 1. Roast the poblano chile directly over a gas flame or 4 inches below a very hot electric broiler, turning regularly until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes for an open flame, about 10 minutes for the broiler. Cool until handleable, rub off the blackened skin, tear open and pull out the stem and seed pod. Quickly rinse to remove any seeds or bits of skin. Roughly chop and scoop into a food processor, along with the serrano(s) and cilantro. Pulse until uniformly chopped, then run the machine until you have a coarse puree.
- 2. Finish the sausage. In a large bowl, combine the pork with the green seasonings and the salt—your hand is the most efficient utensil for working the seasonings thoroughly into the meat.

I do Tech Support for a major carrier. When I'm not bashing Iphone users for shelling out $800 to $1100 for a phone, I am either watching Star Trek, or cooking.
