Do most of the Mexican markets such as Commercial Mexicana have cured chorizo? I have only seen fresh chorizo.

All I know is, if I have chorizo and eggs in January, my mind can still taste it in December. Just something about the stuff.

The big mystery to me is what do they do with the rest of the Pig. I have never ben able to find edible pork products here.

La Canasta in Ensenada has everything. May be frozen, but they'll probably have what you want.

Sounds yummy, Terry. I'd suggest meeting at BajaMama's and letting her fry it up for us, but the local rumor has it she's on her way out of the place real soon and may be opening right next door with something or other and minus a liquor license.
This is all hush-hush top secret shit , so don't tell anybody.

If you fry it, you ruin it...........it's better as links on the BBQ grill. I did a bunch at the first G4N tournament......didn't you get one????......

No, but I remember you cooking them.
Is Doc still putting on G4N or has it been taken over by the important people? Poor Vince. He'll be turning in his grave forever over that one.

That's really sad. It was a good thing until Doc took on the A-Holes who just wanted to be in charge......then started bringing in experts who saw the personal profit angle.

It's one thing to say you will be in charge of a committee, it's another to actually run a committee and work with others for the main goal...........really learned a lot about people in the area by being involved in G4N

I still don't know where to obtain cured vs. fresh chorizo? Carson City is a little to far to drive too.

The stuff in Carson City is fresh in a roll that you twist into links. I usually bring down 6-8 rolls each trip.

They may have Basque Chorizo in Bakersfield, or if you know anyone headed south..................

I have been cooking with fresh chorizo for 50 yrs., however the recipe for chorizo burgers called for cured chorizo which I am un familiar with. Baja Gringo, do you know where to buy it?

larry · 08-12-13, 04:35 PM

In my limited research, I found that what is called cured chorizo mainly comes from Spain. It is hard like peperoni and you slice it. Not sure if this is what the original recipe calls for. I am afraid if I used fresh chorizo and mixed it with raw hamburger and then grilled it, it would not get fully cooked?
