Hispanic flavours,it seems, are permeating more and more menus, and it seems tacos are the new toast.These latino-inspired flavours, ingredients and techniques are reshaping the way Europe eats.This one is a real palate pleaser.Made with tongue-tingling green chillies and ,if going for authenticity and availability permitting, tonsil tickling tomatillo.It just rolls off the tongue so beautifully "to- ma -till-o,and they taste even better in your mouth.
If you ask for a tortilla and chorizo in Mexico City you'll get something very, very different to what you would get if asking for a tortilla and chorizo in Andalucia.
Chorizo / Chouriço sausages originated in Spain and Portugal, and versions of
them exist throughout Latin America. Unlike most varieties of Iberican chorizo
(which is cured and dried in a way somewhat similar to salami or
pepperoni), Mexican chorizo is actually a raw sausage that must be
cooked before eating. In its commercial form, it generally
comes in casings that are just broken open and discarded when frying the
sausage, but it is also commonly sold loose without the skin, much as we would buy pork mince which is exactly what is used in this recipe.Although most Mexican chorizo is red in colour due to the dried chile
pepper and paprika used in the recipe, the area around the city of
Toluca (in central Mexico) is famous for the green chorizo it produces,
which is made with tomatillos, cilantro, and/or green chillies.
If you want to make a healthier version of your own from scratch, without preservatives or additives this is the perfect recipe.This unusual spiced pork mince is easy to make at home, and once you have nailed it, it can be applied to many different dishes.
Taco de chorizo verde
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
2 tsp black peppercorns
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp Mexican oregano
2 tsp cumin seeds
10 whole cloves
17 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tbsp fine sea salt
6 fresh jalapeños
130ml sherry vinegar
2 bunches coriander
1kg fatty pork mince
1/2 cup seville orange juice,or juice of fresh limes
tsp golden caster sugar
tsp flor de sal
8 x 10cm corn tacos
crumbs of oven dried presunto,for garnish
Dry garlic chutney,for garnish
In a pan on a medium heat lightly toast the peppercorns, coriander seeds, oregano, cumin and cloves until you can smell the spices, allow to cool slightly then grind to a fine powder.
In a blender, blitz the garlic, salt, jalapeños, sherry vinegar and coriander to a rough paste, and mix really well with the pork mince and the spice mix. For a better taste, allow to sit and the flavours to get to know each other (it’s best left overnight).
