1 Boneless pork butt cut into 1 inch pieces (about 5 lbs)
1/2 cup Rustic rub (see recipe)
1-1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
1/4 cup Paprika
1-1/2 teaspoon File powder
2 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper
2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 cup Chopped garlic
Yield: 5 Lbs
Put the pork and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl, tossing to coat the meat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and put the mixture through a meat grinder using a 1/2-inch die. Or, coarsely grind the meat in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
Stuff the mixture into the prepared 1 1/2-inch-diameter casings, each piece about 10 inches long. It can be frozen indefinitely.
Makes about 5 pounds.
