I'm doing this with Vension Sausage
Can't wait
I just googled chorizo and it said the sodium content was over a 1235 mg I did similar searches and the lowest I found was 700 mg.
Wow!
I made this last night. I didnt really like the creamed cabbage.. sticking to just sauteed cabbage with butter and pepper.
Fyi: added some nutmeg, and I found it delicious.
Good luck, Ivy
Use a cream with the highest amount of fat you can find and it should not contain any added sugar.
The only way I could go around the issue of misleading measurements, was to buy an extremely convenient kitchen scale. Mine was fairly inexpensive and it weighs any type of food or liquid in grams, ml, ounces and pounds. It has made cooking following any kind of recipes a breeze! Hope this helps!
As mentioned in the ingredient list, you can use any high quality sausage. Just watch for added sugars and corn syrups or other fillers.

Although I love Mexican chorizo, some recipes call for the European style, and I think most recipes call for the European style, unless specifically directing you to use Mexican style chorizo.
