Default Sausage recipes


Fresh Kielbasa

Makes 5 pounds

Everyone in Eastern Europe seems to have a variation on this sausage.
Poland is most famous for their version, but I think this Lithuanian
recipe from Bill Daileda of Saint Casmir's will keep all of Eastern
Europe happy. It is the best that I have come across.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon MSG (optional)

1 pound beef chuck, cut into large pieces
4 pounds pork butt, cut into large pieces
1 1/4 pounds fresh pork fatback cut into large pieces

1/2 cup cold water
Sausage casings, about 14 feet, 1 inch in diameter

Mix all the spices in a small jar. Shake well to mix them.

Grind the meats and the fatback coarsely in a meat grinder or food
processor. Place the mixture in a bowl. Add the seasonings and mix
thoroughly through the meat. Mix in the cold water, which will make the
meat easier to stuff.

Stuff the mixture into casings

Smoked Kielbasa

This is Bill Daileda's version of smoked sausage, and it is a bit closer
to what most Americans know as Polish sausage. It is Lithuanian in
origin, however, and not as fatty as that stuff you get from the
supermarket.

Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon MSG (optional)
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
3/4 tablespoon curing salt(made by Morton's and available in specialty
shops or supermarkets)
1 /2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

4 pounds pork butt, coarsely ground
1 pound beef, coarsely ground


To prepare, follow the directions for the fresh kielbasa, but then tie
the stuffed casings into rings and smoke them.



Romanian Sausages
Mititei
Makes 12 sausages

Pearl Mailath, a Romanian friend in Indiana, invited us into her home
for a real Romanian meal. This was before Romania erupted into what we
hope will be independence. As she cooked these delicious sausages, we
talked politics. I think the discussion made the sausages taste even
better. These are great cooked on the outdoor grill.

Ingredients:
4-5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, whole
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup Beef Stock or use canned

2/3 pound coarsely ground pork
1 pound ground chuck

Crush the garlic well in the water, using a fork. Stir in the meat,
baking soda, seasonings, and garlic puree together. Add Beef Stock and
mix well.

For each sausage, take 1/3 cup of the meat mixture, and roll between the
palms of your hands into a sausage shape about 4 inches long. Place
sausages side by side in a container and cover. Refrigerate overnight so
the flavors can blend.

These are excellent on the grill. They may also be broiled or baked in
the oven.

Broil the sausages about 3 minutes per side until cooked through and
browned.

HINT: WHEN HAND ROLLING SAUSAGES or meatballs of any kind, keep a small
bowl of water near you so that you can keep your hands a bit wet. This
way, the meat will not stick to your hands.

Italian Sausage with Lemon

Makes a little over 2 pounds

Lemon is just great with pork, and this sausage with lemon is
delightful. It is not heavy but rather very refreshing.

2 pounds pork butt, coarsely ground
1/4 pound pork fat, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon freshly ground fennel seed
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon peel

Mix all the ingredients together.

Let stand for 1 hour and mix again. Stuff into casings.



Italian Sausage, Sicilian Style

Makes 2 pounds

This will be better than any sausage you can find in a market, except
perhaps Fretta Brothers in New Jersey and Esposito's in Philadelphia.
Well, there are some fine companies in Seattle also, Fresh-made sausage,
homemade, is a forgotten thing in our culture and I think that is a shame.

2 pounds lean pork butt, coarsely ground
1/4 pound pork fat, coarsely ground
1 tablespoon coarsely ground fennel seed
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons dry white wine

Mix all the ingredients together. Let stand one hour.

Mix again and stuff into casings.

Another variation is to omit the parsley and white wine, but add 1/2 cup
of red wine.

Italian Sausage With Parsley And Cheese

Makes a little over 2 pounds

This is a bit lighter than the sausages with red pepper flakes and I
think this is a perfect sausage for a nice dinner with friends.

2 pounds pork butt, coarsely ground
1/4 pound pork fat, coarsely ground
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Put all the ingredients together, and mix them well. Let an hour and mix
again. Stuff into casings.

Italian Cheese and Red Wine Sausage

You will enjoy this variation on the plain Italian pork sausage. The
addition of cheese and wine raises this sausage to dinner table
conversation.

Ingredients:
4 pounds boneless pork, shoulder or butt
1 tablespoon coarse ground fennel seed
2 bay leaves, crushed
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
5 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
3/4 Cup dry red wine
4 yards sausage casings
Olive oil for cooking

Grind the meat using the coarse blade.

Mix all ingredients together and allow the mixture to sit for 1 hour
before stuffing into casings.

To cook, place in a frying pan with a tiny bit of olive oil and just
enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover and cook until the
water evaporates. Then, continue to brown, turning once.

Use throughout the book where Italian sausages are called for.

Makes 4 pounds.

Homemade Pork Sausage
Ingredients:

One 5 pound Boston butt or meat scraps when you butcher hogs
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 cups finely chopped onion
Salt to taste
Ground cayenne pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups finely chopped green onions
1 tablespoon dried mint or other seasonings to taste


Using a meat grinder, finely grind together the meat and the fat into a
large bowl.

Mix in the onions, green onions, garlic, salt, pepper, mint, and any
other seasonings you would like to use. Using the mixing spoons Mother
Nature gave you, your hands, mix all the ingredients together.

I usually fry a patty to test for seasonings and because by that time
I'm hungry. Then pass the mixture through the meat grinder again to mix
very well.

You can freeze this in patties with waxed paper in between or stuff into
casings.

Boudin
Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds pork butt, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 pound pork liver, rinsed in cool water
2 quarts water
1 cup coarsely chopped onions
1/2 cup coarsely chopped bell peppers
1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
41/4 teaspoons salt
21/2 teaspoons cayenne
11/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped parsley
1 cup chopped green onions, green parts only
6 cups cooked medium grain white rice

A popular sausage made with bits of pork, fluffy white rice, and
seasonings is the breakfast choice in Acadiana. Wrapped in a paper
napkin or tucked into a slice of bread and washed down with a cup of
dark coffee, it carries you through the morning.

It's not necessary to stuff the sausage into casings. You can plunk a
heaping spoonful of the mixture on a thick slice of Home Style French
Bread (page 286) or any bread for that matter, not just for breakfast,
but any time. I like to drizzle some Steen's 100 % Pure Cane Syrup on it
too. The mark of a good boudin is lots of chopped parsley and green onions.

1. Put the pork, liver, water, onions, bell peppers, celery, 1 teaspoon
of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black
pepper in a large heavy pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the
heat and simmer for about 11/2 hours, or until the pork and liver are
tender. Remove from the heat and drain, reserving 11/2 cups of the broth.

2. Grind the pork and liver together with 1/2 cup of the parsley and 1/2
cup of the green onions in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/4 inch die.
Or, put the pork and liver together with 1/2 cup of the parsley and 1/4
CUP of the green onions in a food processor fitted with a metal blade
and pulse several times to coarsely grind the mixture. It should not be
pureed into a paste.

3. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the rice, the remaining salt,
cayenne, black pepper, parsley, and green onion and mix well. Add the
broth, 1/2 cup at a time and mix thoroughly

4. Either stuff the mixture into prepared 1 1/2 inch diameter casings
and make 3 inch links.

5. Serve warm. The sausage can be reheated in a 325° oven.


Andouille Sausage


Andouille, Louisiana's famous sausage, is used in gumbos, jambalayas,
and dressings. It gives pizzazz to any dish. Andouille is a smoked
sausage; if you don't have a smoker, use a kettle grill. I use both
garlic powder and fresh garlic to intensify the flavor.

1 boneless pork butt, cut into 1 inch cubes (about 5 pounds)
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Rustic Rub
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
1/4 cup paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons file powder
1/4 cup chopped garlic

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Stuff the mixture into the prepared 11/2 inch diameter casings, each
piece about 10 inches long. It can be frozen indefinitely.

About 5 pounds

Fred's Andouille Sausage

Ingredients:
1 1/2 yds large sausage casing (about 2-3; wide)
4 pounds lean fresh pork
2 pounds pork fat
3 1/3 tablespoons garlic cloves - finely minced
2 tablespoons salt - NOT iodized
1 tablespoon black pepper - freshly ground
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 tablespoon thyme - minced
1 tablespoon marjoram - minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon bay leaf - ground
1/4 teaspoon sage
5 teaspoons liquid hickory smoke

Andouille was a great favorite in nineteenth-century New Orleans. This
thick Cajun sausage is made with lean pork and pork fat and lots of
garlic. Sliced about 1/2 inch thick and grilled, it makes a delightful
appetizer. It is also used in a superb oyster and Andouille gumbo
popular in Laplace, a Cajun town about 30 miles from New Orleans that
calls itself the Andouille Capital of the World.

Cut the meat and fat into chunks about 1/2 inch across and pass once
through the coarse blade of the meat grinder. Combine the pork with the
remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.

Cut the casings into 26 inch lengths and stuff as follows: Tie a knot
in each piece of casing about 2 inches from one end. Fit the open end
over the tip of the sausage stuffer and slide it to about 1 inch from
the wide end. Push the rest of the casing onto the stuffer until the
top touches the knot

Age at least overnight, then smoke for several hours using pecan,
hickory or ash. Throw anything sweet, such as cane sugar or syrup, raw
sugar, molasses, sugar cane or brown sugar on the wood before lighting.

To cook, slice the Andouille 1/2 inch thick and grill in a hot skillet
with no water for about 12 minutes on each side, until brown and crisp
at the edges.

Fresh Pork Sausage

Ingredients for 10 lbs.

5 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. ground white pepper
2 tbsp. rubbed sage
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp. thyme
1 tbsp. ground hot red pepper
1 pint ice water (optional)

You can make an excellent breakfast sausage using 100% pork butts. This
product is of such high quality that it is never seen in a meat market
and can only be had by making it yourself. You can also make a breakfast
sausage of 50% pork butts and 50% pork trimming and you would still have
a sausage of high quality. All the pork used to manufacture sausage must
be chilled from 32-35 degrees F. without fail. Be sure that all the meat
is free of blood clots, sinews, bone, skin, glands, etc.

Grinding & Mixing Grind all the meat through a 3/16" grinder plate and
place in mixer. Add all the ingredients and mix well until all the
spices are evenly distributed.

Stuffing Pork sausage may be stuffed into 28-30 mm hog casings or 22-24
mm lamb casings. Pork sausage also may be stuffed into a cloth bag or a
3 1/2 by 24" fibrous casing. It is very important that pork sausage not
be allowed to remain at room temperature any longer than necessary.
Place in cooler as soon as possible. Pork sausage should be allowed to
chill and dry in 28-32 degree cooler.


Veal Bockwurst

Ingredients for 25 lbs.
Ingredients for 10 lbs.


1 quart of whole milk
1 pint whole milk
8 ozs. salt
6 tbsp. salt
2 ozs. powdered dextrose
2 tbsp. powdered dextrose
1/4 oz. mace
1 tbsp. mace
1/2 oz. ground celery
1 tbsp. ground celery
1 oz. onion powder
4 tbsp. onion powder
1 oz. ground white pepper
1 tbsp. ground white pepper
1 bunch fresh chopped chives or green onions
6 pcs. chives or green onions chopped
1/4 oz. chopped parsley
6 pcs. chopped parsley
1/4 oz. grated lemon peel
1 piece grated lemon peel
6 fresh whole eggs
3 fresh whole eggs
7 1/2 lbs. boneless veal
3 lbs. boneless veal
12 1/2 lbs. lean pork shoulder
5 lbs. lean pork shoulder
5 lbs. regular pork trimmings
2 lbs. pork trimmings


Grinding Grind all the meat through a 3/8 grinder plate, adding all the
ingredients, and mixing well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Stuffing And Cooking Bockwurst is to be stuffed into a lamb casing 24/26
mm in size and made in links 4-6 inches long; then hung on clean
smokesticks. (Do not use a smokestick that can stain the casings, as
bockwurst is a white sausage.)

Sausage should be placed into the cooker or water and cooked until the
internal temperature reaches 152 degrees F. (Be sure the water
temperature is not above 165 degrees F.) Place cooked sausage under
shower for about 10 minutes to reduce internal temperature to 110
degrees F. and remove to cooler overnight.

This sausage also can be frozen and cooked as it is needed. Bockwurst
also is made as a very fine-textured sausage (emulsified) is the Western
New York area. It is very popular at Easter time and also under the name
of "white hot dogs." I hope this recipe is what you want and I hope you
enjoy.




Irish Sausage
Ingredients:

5 lbs. coarse-ground pork butt
3 tsp. thyme
5 cups bread crumbs
3 tsp. basil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tsp. rosemary
8 cloves garlic, pressed
3 tsp. marjoram
1 tbsp. salt 3 tsp. black pepper
2 cups water

Combine all ingredients, mix well, and stuff into sheep casings. Fry in
butter or oil.



Chicken Liver And Pork Sausage

Mix follows:

1 lb pork (I chop rather than mince in order to keep juices in the meat,
and I keep the French tradition of using fatty pork, I'd say at least
30% fat, the livers need it anyway)

1 lb chopped chicken livers
1 large clove garlic finely pressed and chopped (minced)
1 level tablespoon measure of salt
1 level teaspoon measure of black pepper c.
1/2 a nutmeg "nut" finely grated (sounds a lot, but it needs it)


The mix is very liquid, but the sausages firm up beautifully as the
chopped livers solidify with the heat. The recipe is loosely based on
Elizabeth David's ragu sauce (from Bologna) which features nutmeg and
chicken livers.


Garlic Kielbasa
Ingredients:
4 ts Coarse (kosher) salt
1 3/4 ts Ground black pepper
3 tb Sweet Hungarina paprika
1 ts Dried marjoram, crumbled
1/2 ts Dried savory, crumbled
2 ts Finely minced garlic
10 oz Trimmed beef shin, cut into 1/2" dice and chilled
16 oz Fresh pork fat, cut into 1/2" dice and chilled
1/3 c Ice water
1 1/4 lb Lean, trimmed pork, cut into 1" dice and chilled

1. Mix together in a small bowl the salt, pepper, paprika, marjoram,
savory, and garlic.

2. In the container of a food processor combine the beef, half the pork
fat, half the ice water, and half the mixed seasonings (see step 1) and
process to a very fine grind.Scrape into a mixing bowl.

3. In a bowl combine the remaining seasonings, the pork, remaining pork
fat, and remaining water. Process half of the mixture at a time to a
coarse grind and add to the beef. Mix together very thoroughly,
cover,and chill for 24 hours.

4. Stuff the sausage into casings,tying links for 10 to 30 " long,
depending upon your preference. Both sizes (and everything in between)
are considered traditional. Hang the sausages in a cool, airy place for
several hours at least, or until the skin is smooth, dry, and crackly.
If it's too hot or humid to hang the sausages, refrigerate them,
uncovered, for at least 12 hours. To store, refrigerate for up to 3
days, or freeze for longer keeping.

To Cook: Place one or more sausages in a large skillet with water to
come halfway up them. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes,
then turn and cook for about 8 minutes on the other side. Pour off the
water, prick the sausages, and cook them over moderate heat until
browned on both sides.

Makes about 2-3/4 pounds

3 ts Finely ground black pepper
2 ts Ground marjoram
2 ts Ground summer savory

"Recipes for this sausage are so variable that what passes for kielbasa
in one area might be regarded as not authentic in another. The
ingredients and pronunciation of kielbasa are as variable as are the
vagaries of the spring weather, the time of year when kielbasa is
traditionally made. This version uses pork, beef, and veal and makes
five lb"

1. Prepare the casings.

2. Grind the meats and fat together through
the coarse disk.

3. Mix the remaining ingredients with the meat.

4. Stuff the casings and leave the sausage in long links. Lengths of
eighteen inches to two feet are traditional.

5. Allow the sausage to dry in a cool place for three or four hours or
refrigerate for twenty-four hours uncovered.

6. Cook by roasting in a 425~ F. oven for forty-five minutes. These
sausages are also excellent grilled over a charcoal fire and eaten in a
Kaiser roll, lathered with a spicy brown mustard.

- cut into 1-in pieces
1/2 lb Chicken livers
4 tb Chopped fresh sage; -=OR=-
2 tb -Dried sage
2 tb Minced garlic
1/4 c Drained capers
1/4 ts Ground black pepper
1/2 c Dry white wine
1/2 lb Bacon; coarsely diced
4 Feet of sausage casing

IN A MIXING BOWL, combine veal or pork and the chicken livers with the
sage, garlic, capers, pepper and white wine.

Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or up to 12 hours.
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator, and add the bacon.

Pass the mixture through a meat grinder fitted with medium holes or
place in a food processor and pulse until well combined, but not quite
smooth.

Stuff the mixture into sausage casings, forming one long sausage or form
into patties. To cook, place the sausages on a hot grill or under a
preheated broiler. Grill 5 to 6 minutes on each side.


Liver and Onion Sausage

Ingredients for 10 lbs.:

7 lbs. pork liver
2 1/4 lbs. pork butts (or snouts)
12 oz. finely chopped onions
5 oz. soy protein concentrate
3/4 oz. powdered dextrose
1 tbsp. ground white pepper
1 tsp. ground marjoram
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 level tsp. prague powder # 1
3 1/2 oz. salt
1 pt. ice water



Cut pork livers into slices about slices about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick.

Place liver into boiling water until it is cooked, then cool liver in
cold water and grind through a 1/8" grinder plate. Remaining ingredients
are added and then ground through a 3/8" grinder plate

Pork butts or snouts are then ground through a 3/8 inch grinder plate.
Remaining ingredients are added and mixed until evenly distributed.

Then stuff meat into 40 - 43 mm beef middles.

Place sausage in 160 degrees F. water and cook until an internal
temperature of 152 degrees F is reached, Remove to cooler and low to set
for 24 hours before using.



FARMER-STYLE LIVER SAUSAGE

Ingredients for 10 lbs.

2 level tsp. Prague Powder No. 1
7 tbsp. salt
4 tbsp. powdered dextrose
2 cups soy protein concentrate or non-fat dry milk
5 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. ground white pepper
1 tsp. marjoram
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
31/2 lbs. pork livers
31/2 lbs. pork snouts
3 lbs. beef tripe

GRINDING

The pork livers have to be scalded in hot water until the thin ends curl
up. The pork snouts should be cooked at least 1 hour. If the tripe has
not been cooked previously, also cook the tripe for 1 hour, After all
the meat has cooled properly, grind it all through a 1/8" grinder plate.
You will find that after cooking all the meat there will be shrinkage,
so add enough stock to bring the contents back up to green weight.

Remove to stuffer and use artificial casings, beef middles, lined sewed
hog bungs, or prime hog bungs.

COOKING

Cook in 160-165 degree F. water until the internal temperature of 152
degrees F. is reached. This will require from 1 to 1 1/2 hours. After
cooking, place in ice filled tub for quick chilling.

Keep adding ice to the water if needed. Chill as rapidly as possible,
which will require about 45 minutes, and put product in cooler. Product
may be wiped with cloth prior to removal to cooler, or sprayed with 180
degree F. hot water.

Liver sausage also may be smoked, using smoking instructions for
braunschweiger.

Texas Hot Links


After much experimentation and help from numerous sources I have stumbled
over the exact formula for genuine Texas Hotlinks. Goes something like unto
this:

Ingredients:
5 lbs. coarse ground pork butt
2 lbs. coarse ground beef
1 cup cold water
2 heaping T. fresh ground black pepper
2 heaping T. crushed red pepper
2 heaping T. Hungarian Paprika
1 heaping T. minced fresh garlic
1 T. granulated garlic
1 T kosher salt
1 t. ground bay leaves
1 t. whole anise seeds
1 t. whole mustard seeds
1 t. corriander
1 t. sugar
1 t. ground thyme
6 t. Mortons Tender Quick
1/2 t. MSG

Mix all the spices, cure, and garlic into the water and place in
refrigerator while you grind the meats.

Mix up the meats then add the water to the meat mixture a little at a
time, kneading to combine. Run meat mixture through the coarse plate one
more time and stuff into medium hog casings.

Smoke or slow grill till they are done. Wrap in a piece of bread and
slap on the mustard heavy. These things are so good the godless left
wing liberal commie pinko democrats will probably try to make them
illegal. So if your going to make some..do it soon.

Kielbasa Nawrocki
Ingredients:
* 20 lbs. cubed pork
* 7 tbsp. sugar
* 7 tbsp. salt
* 2 tsp. pepper
* 3 tbsp. mustard seed
* 2 tbsp. marjoram
* 2-3 cloves garlic crushed and minced.
* 1 3/4 cups water

Mix garlic, sugar, water. Pour over meat, mix. Sprinkle 1/2 of salt and
pepper- mix, repeat with the rest. Add spices and mix. Marinate
overnight; grind into casings. Simmer in water until plump (about 40
minutes), carefully pierce each sausage with a fork to release fat.
Remove from water, pat or air dry for a few minutes. Brown in skillet (I
like to use a little olive oil as the browning medium).
This sausage goes great with sauerkraut.

I am currently rounding up the spices to be divisible by ten and using
about two pounds of pork at a time then cooking the sausage in a
crumbled fashion (stir-fried). It makes a great stuffing base for tomatoes.

If your are going to use casing, two pounds of sausage is hardly worth
the effort.

Origins of the Recipe:

In the early 1970s I had the opportunity to attend a Polish wedding in
Michigan. The food was prepared by the family (the Nawrocki family).
Never having tried Kielbasa before, I was entranced by the taste and
begged for the recipe.

Since that time, a lot of eating habits have changed. The problem is
that fat is what carries the seasoning and we try not to eat too much
saturated fat.

I usually try to buy pork tri-tip (cushion) for about $1.39 per pound
and have the butcher trim the fat from the outside, then grind it. This
gives you ground pork with about 15 percent fat content. Then I start
with the basic seasoning recipe. Usually I have to nearly double the
spice mix. The best way to test your seasonings is to make a small patty
and either fry or microwave it. Adjust the seasoning to your taste
rather than mine.

The basic spice proportions will also mix well with ground chicken or
turkey. They used to be inexpensive, but with anything that is claimed
to be lean, are now higher priced than pork



Bill's Breakfast Sausage

This recipe is specific for pork ground from the tri-tip (cushion) or
pork shoulder with all outside fat trimmed-off. Have your butcher make
at least the first grind.

* 2 lbs. ground pork
* 2 tsp. salt
* 1 tsp. sugar
* 1-1/2 tsp. rosemary (ground)
* 1 tsp. coriander (ground)
* 1/2 tsp. sage (I use rubbed sage)
* 1/4 tsp. white pepper
* 1 tsp. cayenne pepper or Tabasco Sauce
* about 1/8th cup of water, sherry, or (in my case) dry vermouth

Mix dry spices. Sprinkle over pork. Add liquid. Mix well and refrigerate
for at least an hour.

You might want to fry or microwave a silver dollar size patty and taste
it for your preference. I have a tendency to undersalt food for most
people's taste.

Form into patties and brown in a skillet or microwave. I typically will
be able to take off about a tablespoon of grease. If you have
substantially more, you need to make sure your meat has additional fat
trimmed (Of course my ultimate goal is to have to use an unsaturated oil
to add fat).


Origins of the Recipe:

At the same time, people with families have the big McD with sausage-egg
muffins as the food of choice for teenagers. I cannot digest that much
fat anymore. We know it is PIC to serve it at home. So this recipe was
developed in order to do a reasonably healthy version of sausage, eggs,
and muffins.

I typically cook the sausage patties in advance, then freeze them. But
they microwave well, also. I cook the egg in the microwave (after first
piercing the yolk, of course.

Indiana Farm Sausage

Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean ground pork, or turkey, at room temp.
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 tsp. finely minced fresh parsley
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tsp. dried basil {optional}
1 tsp. dried marjoram { optional
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 ground red pepper
1/4 tsp. dried thyme

In a deep bowl, combine all ingredients., using hands if necessary.
On wax paper, shape and roll mixture into 2 logs 6 inches long and 2
inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, slice the roll into rounds about 1/2 inch thick and fry in a
heavy skillet for about 3 to 4 min. on each side.

I personally shape the sausage into patties and quick-freeze them.

I then transfer them to a plastic bag and cook them whenever. You can
make link sausages as well...Also, they warm up the longer they age.

So, you might want to reduce the amount of pepper you use, depending on
your taste. I don't leave out the optional seasonings, as it all comes
together so well, as is.

I don't know if this will interest you, but have found it very helpful
in making hamburger. I wasn't real pleased with the first results in
grinding the meat. I didn't like the coarse texture. Then saw a
demonstration on it.

The meat was ground twice; first with the coarse grind, then run through
again on the fine grind. It was just what I needed to know and works great.


Chicken and Apple Sausage

Ingredients:

1 cup apple cider
3.5 lbs. boned chicken thighs (dark meat is important)
3 oz. dried apples
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried sage
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 2 Tablespoons boiling water
Sausage casings (optional)



The process:

In a small non-reactive pan, boil down the cider almost to a syrup,
about 2 or 3 tablespoons. Cool and reserve.

Grind the boned chicken and skin coarsely.

Add the cider and rest of the ingredients to the ground chicken in a
large bowl and blend thoroughly with your hands.

Fry up a small patty to test, and correct the seasonings in the rest of
the batch. This is good either loose or in casings...


Remember that you can adjust the taste to suit your own personal
preferences by increasing or decreasing the ingredients.

You can stuff into 32-35 mm hog casing or 35-mm collagen casing. If you
prefer you can also make bulk or patties.

Add Ingredients to 25 lbs. of meat block

12 oz. Ice or Ice Water or 8 oz. Ice and 4 oz. Dark Beer

5 oz Salt

2 oz Dextrose or Brown Sugar

1 oz White Pepper


1/4 oz Ginger

1/4 oz Mace

1/4 oz Onion Powder

1/4 oz Coriander

1/4 oz Nutmeg


Apple Cinnamon Turkey Sausage

This is the formula I used for Apple Cinnamon Turkey Sausage. You could
also use chicken or pork. With the holidays Turkey will be plentiful.

Add Ingredients to 25 lbs. of meat block
12 oz. Ice or Ice Water
5 oz Salt
2 oz Black Pepper
1 oz Rubbed Sage
1 oz tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1/4 oz Ginger
1.5 lbs. Apple Pie filling or Apple Sauce

Optional Ingredients
1/4 oz Thyme
1/4 oz Marjoram
1/2 oz Ground Red Pepper
1/4 oz Nutmeg


We always sold this in bulk or breakfast links.

Creole Pork Sausage

This Creole pork sausage is an old local favorite dating back to the
19th Century, but isn't as easy to find as it once was. It would seem
to have come to Louisiana with the Spanish, and was adapted to local
custom and ingredients;
the term is similar to the Spanish chorizo. It's great with white or
red beans, and good for breakfast too, with eggs!


4 pounds lean fresh pork, butt or shoulder
2 pounds fresh pork fat
2 cups onion, finely minced
1-1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
1-1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground red pepper
2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves, crushed
5 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
3 bay leaves, finely crushed
1/2 teaspoon allspice
3 yards small sausage casing (optional)

Cut the pork at fatback into small pieces. Mix together and run once
through the coarse disc of a meat grinder, into a large bowl. Add the
seasonings and mix thoroughly until the stuffing is very smooth and
well-blended.

Make into patties, and use within three days or freeze.

Also, you can stuff the chaurice into casings; make each sausage about
six inches in length.
YIELD: Approximately 18 servings.


(This recipe came from Chef John Folse on the Gumbo Pages)


Chicken And Apple Sausage

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

10 feet sausage casings, medium -- optional

In a small nonreactive saucepan, boil down the cider almost to a syrup,
about 2-3 tablespoons.

Cool and reserve.

Coarsely chop chicken in food processor.

Add apple cider syrup and the remaining ingredients to the chicken in a
large bowl and blend thoroughly with your hands.

Fry a small patty until done and adjust seasoning if necessary.

I alwasys look at recipes like this and scratch my head. 1/4ts of
garlci power for 6+ pounds of meat? A lot of sausage recipes seem
reallyt shy on spices. And I know in most kielbassa, I can see way
mnore than 1/2tsp of pepper per 6+. I'd multiple the spice
ingredinets uin that recipes by 6X (less opf the allspice).
