Chorizo de Bofe

Chorizo de bofe (bofe means lungs) is made with offal meat (lungs, spleen, stomach), skins and other meat by products which will be hard to obtain in metropolitan areas, however, in rural areas such meats and blood are usually processed first for sausages. The sausage is also known as sabadeño in Castilla, sabadiego in León and bofeños in Extremadura.

The Practical Guide to Making Salami

The Practical Guide to Making Salami is a companion book to The Art of Making Fermented Sausages, published in 2008. Since then, more information has become available; safety standards have been updated and tightened, new cultures have appeared, and getting supplies and newer equipment online has become more accessible. The most relevant theory has been transferred from The Art of Making Fermented Sausages. Still, The Practical Guide to Making Salami includes plenty of new materials such as fermented spreadable sausages, acidified sausages, or combining acidulants with natural fermentation. The recipes section has been expanded and includes 264 selected recipes from different countries so the reader can immediately produce sausages.
