ITALIAN-STYLE PORK SAUSAGE

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons fennel seeds
3 tablespoons ground fennel
1 tablespoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground anise or nutmeg
2 teaspoons crushed red-pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
3 pounds pork butt, cut into 1-inch-wide strips and chilled to 26 to 28 degrees, or ground pork butt
Enough hog casings for 3 pounds of sausage, rinsed and patted dry

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, toast fennel seeds over high heat, shaking the pan to keep seeds from burning, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds to a bowl. Add ground fennel, salt, black pepper, sugar, and nutmeg or anise. If making hot sausages, add red-pepper flakes and cayenne pepper as well. Stir to combine. Set seasoning blend aside.
  • If you are grinding your own sausage, fit meat grinder with a 1/2-inch die (or the larger of the two dies, if using a grinder with only two sizes). Pass meat through grinder into a large bowl. Meanwhile, mix seasoning blend with 1 1/2 ounces water. Sprinkle seasoning blend over meat and toss gently with hands to distribute evenly. Pass meat through grinder a second time, using the same die. (If using preground meat, gently toss with seasoning.) Cover bowl and refrigerate until ready to stuff sausages.
  • Transfer meat to a sausage stuffer or stand mixer fitted with a sausage stuffing attachment and plastic stuffing tube. Put a baking sheet or bowl below stuffing tube to catch sausages as they are stuffed.
  • Carefully slide the casing onto stuffing tube. Leave about 3 inches of casing hanging off end of tube. Begin cranking sausage meat into casing, guiding stuffed sausage with one hand to keep meat moving consistently through casing so sausages are neither overstuffed nor understuffed. As casing is stuffed, curl sausage into a coil.
  • When all sausage has been stuffed, slide remaining casing off tube and tie a knot at both ends as close to the meat as possible. Twist sausages several times to create links every 4 inches, alternating the direction you twist. Store in a resealable bag and cook within 1 week of making, or freeze up to 3 months.

Time 20m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs ground lean pork
1 lb firm tofu (you have to put it in the blender and shred it to obtain a "ground meat" texture)

1 1/4 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (or use 1/4 teaspoon of "Mrs. Dash" extra spicy)

3/4 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • With your hands, mix all the ingredients together. Mix it very well. With your palms form about 30 small sausages (4-5 inches long). You can preserve them in your fridge for about 3-4 days or keep them in your freezer up to 1 month. It takes about 10-15 min to cook them in a non-stick pan.
  • Bon appétit!

PPK'S SIMPLE ITALIAN SAUSAGES- VEGAN/VEGETARIAN



Ppk's Simple Italian Sausages- Vegan/Vegetarian image

We seriously cannot stop eating these! You can eat them as brats or chop them up, fry them with some olive oil, and toss them in practically any dish. Both of my picky husband and VERY picky son will eat these up, which is a major win! The original recipe makes 4 but I find them way too large that way so I divide mine into 8. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do and I'm sorry if this is already posted on this site, I couldn't find it anywhere. Original recipe is from Isa Chandra Moskowitz at the Post Punk Kitchen. *The 1/2 beans are not included in the nutrition facts as it depends on what kind of white beans you decide to use.

Time 50m

Yield 8 Sausages, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup cooked white beans, rinsed and drained (great northern or navy)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/4 cups vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 dashes fresh black pepper

Steps:

  • Get your tinfoil squares ready.
  • In a large bowl, mash the beans until no whole ones are left.
  • Throw all the other ingredients together in the order listed and mix with a fork (I find it easier to use my hands).
  • Get your steaming apparatus ready.
  • Divide dough into 8 even parts and form into little logs (about the size of a large hot dog.).
  • Tightly wrap the dough in tin foil, like a tootsie roll, twisting the ends. (I didn't wrap mine tight enough last time and they came out strangely shaped but they still cooked through and tasted great.).
  • Place wrapped sausages in steamer (I use one of those cheap steamer baskets you can buy at the grocery store) and steam for 40 minutes.
  • Unwrap and enjoy or refrigerate for later (they also freeze well).
