4 pounds lean fresh pork, butt or shoulder
2 pounds fresh pork fat
2 cups onion, finely minced
1-1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 crushed bay leaves
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoons crushed thyme
8 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons parsley
2 teaspoons ground red pepper
3 yards small sausage casing


Cut the pork at fatback into small pieces. Mix together and run once through the coarse disc of a meat grinder, into a large bowl. Add the seasonings and mix thoroughly until the stuffing is very smooth and well-blended.
Make into patties, and use within three days or freeze. Also, you can stuff the Chaurice into casings; make each sausage about six inches in length.

Do you mean chorizo?

nope chaurice

Chaurice is a spicy pork sausage used extensively in Creole cooking. One of the few sausages seasoned with fresh vegetables, it is seen time and time again in different presentations on the Creole table. It is related to the Spanish chorizo which is commonly used in paella, the forefather of our own jambalaya. Chorizo was also used to flavor garbanzo beans. Today in South Louisiana, chaurice is seen most often as a pan-fried side dish for white or red beans. Although much more common in Creole cooking, chaurice is used from time to time by the Cajuns as well.
