Spanish Chorizo recipe needed

Hi,
I'm looking to make some Spanish (i.e. not Mexican) chorizo. I'm hoping to find a recipe where it gets cured for a certain amount of time, but not necessarily for a really long time in the hopes of eating it uncooked. Ultimately, I would be cooking it. Does anyone have any links or a recipe you use? Thanks.

(p.s. I've got grinder/stuffer/curing agents)

    I've made a homemade chorizo from one of the Two Hot Tamales' TV show. I added some cayenne to taste.... we like it Hot!

    Here are the ingredients:
    Homemade Chorizo Ingredients
    1 lb Ground pork butt
    1/2 bn Fresh oregano, chopped
    1 ts Coarse salt
    1 ts Ground coriander
    1 ts Freshly ground black pepper
    1 tb Ground cumin
    2 tb Ancho chile powder
    2 tb Vinegar
    4 Cloves garlic,, minced

    Here's the link to the recipe

    There are several other chorizo recipes at the bottom of the page....

      Whichever recipe/method you use, you want to make sure to flavor it with Spanish smoked paprika, and a fair amount of garlic, to give it that uniquely Spanish flavor.

        Although I haven't tried the recipes yet, there are a ton here for all sorts of cured sausages:
