Chorizo criollo
The fresh pork sausage typical of Uruguay, flavoured with paprika, garlic and red wine. It is grilled slowly during the asado, and its crisp skin releases a juicy, spicy filling.

Instructions
- Cut the meat and fat into small cubes, then pass them through a coarse grinder or chop them with a knife.
- In a bowl, mix the meat with the salt, paprika, chili, pepper, oregano and garlic.
- Pour in the red wine and mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and sticky.
- Let it marinate for 2 hours in the fridge so the flavours can soak in.
- If you have casings, fill them with a piping bag, avoiding air bubbles, then twist every 12 cm; otherwise shape sausages in cling film.
- Keep chilled and grill over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, turning often, until cooked through.
Variations and tips
Fresh chorizo to pan-fry. Cook the sausages in a pan over medium heat with a little oil, for 15 minutes, turning them.
