COUNTRY SAUSAGE

Provided by John Martin Taylor

Categories     Pork     Sausage

Yield Makes about 3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds fatty pork or 2 pounds lean pork and 1 pound pork fat
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage or 3 or 4 fresh leaves
1 teaspoon Quatre-Epices
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried
6 to 8 feet of cleaned hog casings (optional)*

Steps:

  • If your meat grinder comes with a coarse and a fine grind attachment, grind the meat first through the coarser disk. Put all the remaining ingredients in a spice mill or blender and process until ground evenly. Add the ground seasonings to the meat and mix in well. In a frying pan on top of the stove, fry a little piece of the sausage and taste for seasoning. Correct the seasoning to your own taste. If you think the sausage is too fatty, you may add some more lean meat (and it needn't be pork: veal is fine, and oysters are delicious); you may want more hot peppers.
  • Put the properly seasoned forcemeat through the fine grinder.
  • If you are stuffing the sausage into casings: Run the mixture through the meat grinder set on the fine setting (and with the sausage stuffer attached and the casings tied at one end and placed over the end of the funnel, ready to be filled). Tie off stuffed sausages into 4-inch links. Cover the sausages and place immediately in the refrigerator.
  • You can smoke some or all of the sausage - or partially smoke it. And you can freeze the sausage as well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: Opt for a country-style sausage with a good fat-to-meat ratio, as this will result in a juicier and more flavorful sausage. Patties should be about 1/2 inch thick and 3 ounces each.
  • Cook the sausage slowly: Over high heat, the sausage will cook too quickly and become dry. Instead, cook it over medium or low heat, allowing the flavors to develop and the sausage to cook evenly throughout.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sausage from cooking evenly and will also cause it to steam rather than fry.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the sausage is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add some flavor: To enhance the flavor of the sausage, add some seasonings or spices to the pan while it's cooking. Some popular options include garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Country-style sausage is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, green beans, or cornbread.

Conclusion:

Country-style sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can cook the perfect country-style sausage that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give country-style sausage a try!
