HOMEMADE ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Homemade Italian Sausage image

One of my earliest and most vivid food memories was when my uncle Bill would make his famous dried Italian sausage every Christmas Eve. They'd be fried after Midnight Mass and served on bread with roasted red peppers. This fresh version was inspired by those. If you can manage not to eat them right away, letting them dry for a day or two really deepens the flavor, and firms up the texture as well, in true Uncle Billy fashion.

Time P1DT9h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 pounds pork shoulder
4 cloves garlic
1 ounce kosher salt, divided
2 tablespoons whole fennel seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon anise seed
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ teaspoon ground allspice berries
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
sausage casing, soaked in water until soft

Steps:

  • Cut pork shoulder into cubes. Place in a bowl and refrigerate while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Grind garlic with a pinch of salt in a mortar to make a paste. Add fennel, anise, and black pepper. Bruise spices lightly with a pestle to release the flavors. Add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, oregano, marjoram, coriander, mustard, allspice, sugar, and a splash of water. Stir to combine.
  • Add the spice paste to the pork cubes. Mix thoroughly by hand. Add the remaining salt. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Process the cold pork through a meat grinder on the slowest speed.
  • Push a casing onto the stuffing tube of your meat grinder. Feed the sausage meat through the filling tray. Run the meat through the casing on the slowest speed until all the casing is used up. Tie casing at the end into a knot. Pinch and twist the meat to create links if desired.
  • Place sausage onto a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Refrigerate uncovered for 24 hours.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill for medium heat. Separate the links and grill them until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork: Opt for fresh, uncured pork with a good ratio of lean meat to fat (around 20-25%). Using quality pork will impart a richer flavor to your sausage.
  • Grind the pork coarsely: Coarsely ground pork provides a better texture in the sausage and prevents it from becoming too dense. Use a meat grinder with a large grinding plate (1/4 inch or larger).
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices like basil, oregano, and fennel seeds add depth of flavor to the sausage. Dry herbs can also be used, but they should be added in smaller quantities.
  • Mix the seasonings thoroughly: Make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the pork mixture. This will ensure that each bite of sausage is flavorful.
  • Stuff the sausage casings loosely: Don't overstuff the casings, as this can cause them to burst during cooking. Leave some space for the sausage to expand.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Cook the sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). This will ensure that it is safe to eat and has a juicy texture.

Conclusion:

Homemade Italian sausage is a versatile and delicious addition to many dishes. Whether you're using it in pasta, pizza, or sandwiches, it's sure to elevate the flavor of your meal. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a homemade Italian sausage that rivals the best store-bought brands. So, grab your ingredients and give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
