By hansonkw

Our attempt to create the sausage we have had in New Mexico

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb fresh ground pork butt
• 3/4 tsp cumin
• 1 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried chives
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground corriander
• 1/3-1/2 cup Green chiles (select your heat)
• 1/2 -1 tsp ground green chile powder
• 1/4 tsp celery powder
• 1/3 tsp caraway seeds
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

grind pork (I like 1/2 course ground and 1/2 medium grind)
add seasoning and chiles
mix by hand

test fry a small patty to test flavoring and adjust accordingly
I like to make 1 in balls of sausage and freeze, then package to be stored in freezer. Pull out what you want and let thaw. each ball can be smashed flat to give a small patty
