 garlic in a blender and puree until smooth.

 Grind and combine the remaining herbs and spices.

 Cut up the pork into chunks that will fit through your grinder.

 Chill the chunks to almost frozen, and then grind through a coarse
 plate (8 mm).l To the ground pork add the spice mix and the blended
 chiles; combine well.

 return this mixture to the freezer for 30 minutes.

 Re-grind using a fine plate about 4.5 mm. Place this mixture in your
 fridge for 12 to 24 hours in a covered container so the flavours can
 combine.

 Portion this mixture into freezer containers, it will freeze well for
 months.

 You can also stuff into casings if you desire.
