Old Plantation A.C. Legg Chorizo Sausage Seasoning - 16 oz

Make your own chorizo with Old Plantation A.C. Legg Chorizo Sausage Seasoning – 16 oz

Chorizo is a chile-garlic flavored sausage beloved in Mexican and Southwest cooking. Many ready-made options rely on beef byproducts that may not appeal to everyone. This seasoning from Old Plantation lets you craft your own chorizo using pork you select, giving you full control over flavor and texture.

What you get and how it helps

• No MSG, so you can enjoy the spice blend without added additives.
• One 16 oz bag seasons up to about 25 pounds of meat, making it easy to scale a big batch or smaller tests.
• Exclusive high-barrier, multi-wall packaging protects freshness and flavor for at least 12 months.
• Clear guidance for batch sizing: 1 oz seasons 1.5 pounds of meat; 2 tablespoons equal 1 ounce.

How to use

1. Choose your meat: typically 25 pounds of lean pork, or 22 pounds pork with 3 pounds lean beef as an alternative.
2. Cut the meat into small chunks, pour in the entire seasoning, and mix thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
3. Decide on your packaging: form links in natural hog casings or portion for 1 lb bulk freezer bags.
4. Optional: add 1 pint of 5% acidity vinegar to achieve a tangy edge if you like.

Storage and aroma

Legg's seasoning is designed to stay fresh when stored in its protective packaging for at least a year. As you work the mix, you may notice a bright chile-garlic aroma building, followed by a savory profile when cooked.

Practical tips

• Adjust your lean-to-fat ratio to fit your preferred chorizo texture by choosing your pork blend.
• Use the 1 lb bulk option to freeze portions for future cooking sessions.

While this seasoning invites experimentation, it keeps the flavor profile flexible enough to pair with a range of toppings and serving styles. It suggests possibilities rather than promises, so you can explore what works best for your kitchen.
