About Chorizo Olanchano
Buen Provecho describes chorizo olanchano as an artisanal sausage whose traditional preparation continues in Olancho, Honduras. Ground pork from the neck supplies a balance of meat and fat.
Garlic, onion, sour-orange juice, chilli, oregano and cloves season the mixture. After resting, the seasoned pork is stuffed into casings and dried before it is cooked.
The article offers frying as one way to serve the finished chorizo. Prepared encurtido accompanies the sausage, adding a pickled contrast to the pork and its aromatic seasoning.
