Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground pork
- 1/2 lb pork fat, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 10 feet natural hog casings, soaked in warm water and rinsed
Instructions:
- Prepare the Casings:
- Soak the hog casings in warm water for about 30 minutes. Rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any salt.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, pork fat, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the white wine and mix again until the mixture is sticky and well-blended.
- Stuff the Sausages:
- Attach the hog casing to a sausage stuffer or a funnel fitted with a wide nozzle.
- Carefully fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff them to avoid bursting. Twist the sausages at intervals to create links.
- Cook the Sausages:
- The sausages can be cooked in several ways:
- Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the sausages for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly browned and cooked through.
- Pan-Frying: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the sausages on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are cooked through and browned.
- The sausages can be cooked in several ways:
- Serve:
- Serve the sausages hot, with mustard, sauerkraut, or your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Chill the meat and fat: Keeping the meat and fat cold while working with them will help maintain the texture and prevent smearing.
- Test the seasoning: Before stuffing all the sausages, cook a small patty of the mixture to taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Storing: Uncooked sausages can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
