HOMEMADE SUMMER SAUSAGE AKA SALAMI

This recipe is as old as the hills. I've made it for the last 50 years and it was old when I got it. I thought it would be a good addition, so that young cooks can see how easy it is to make a basic sausage. You can play with it, add more spice or whatever. I do suggest trying it as written first. Just as good as what you can buy, but you know what is in there. I make a double recipe and then freeze it. It is really easy and quick to whip this up and costs a lot less than store bought. Prep time does not include sitting in the fridge for 24 hours.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 tablespoons quick curing salt (Mortons Tender Quick salt)

Steps:

  • Mix together all ingredients in a nonmetal bowl. It is easier to mix the seasoning with the water, then incorporate the meat, using your hands to distribute all spices evenly (like making a meatloaf). A note, based on a review, do not over mix the meat or it will be tough. This is true about any kind of meat, work it just enough to get every thing incorporated.
  • I use an ice cream bucket and place a lid on top.
  • Refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Remove from bowl and roll into 4 rolls, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
  • Wrap in aluminum foil with shiny side towards meat.
  • Punch tiny holes along one side and place in a broiler pan with holes down to drain out liquid.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove foil and rewrap in plastic wrap.
  • Ready to use or freeze.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality meat: The type of meat you use will have a big impact on the final product, so be sure to choose high-quality meat that is fresh and free of any defects.
  • Grind the meat coarsely: For summer sausage, you want to grind the meat coarsely so that it retains some of its texture. If you grind the meat too finely, it will become too mushy.
  • Use a good curing mix: The curing mix is what gives summer sausage its characteristic flavor and color. Be sure to use a good quality curing mix that is specifically designed for summer sausage.
  • Stuff the sausage casings tightly: When you stuff the sausage casings, be sure to do it tightly so that there are no air pockets. Air pockets can cause the sausage to spoil.
  • Smoke the sausage slowly: Smoking the sausage slowly helps to develop its flavor and color. Be sure to smoke the sausage at a low temperature so that it doesn't cook too quickly.
  • Dry the sausage thoroughly: After smoking, the sausage needs to be dried thoroughly. This helps to prevent spoilage and also helps to concentrate the flavor.

Conclusion:

Summer sausage is a delicious and versatile meat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're slicing it up for sandwiches, adding it to salads, or simply snacking on it, summer sausage is sure to please. So, next time you're looking for a tasty and easy-to-make snack, give summer sausage a try.
