VEAL SAUSAGE
Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Combine the veal and pork fatback with the shallot mixture, red pepper flakes, fennel seeds, coriander, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight. At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill. Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture twice through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment, 45 to 60 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to use. Stuff the sausages and, for best results, refrigerate overnight. Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 150 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Serve with cornichons, mustard and bread. If you don't have time to stuff sausage links, cook the sausage mixture loose in a skillet or form it into patties for grilling or pan-frying.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal: Use fresh, high-quality veal for the best flavor and texture.
- Grind the veal yourself: Grinding the veal yourself ensures that it is fresh and has a consistent texture.
- Season the sausage well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to season the sausage, such as garlic, onion, fennel, and paprika.
- Use a meat grinder with a fine plate: This will help to create a smooth, even sausage.
- Chill the sausage before stuffing: This will help to prevent the sausage from breaking apart.
- Stuff the sausage into casings: You can use natural or artificial casings for this.
- Cook the sausage thoroughly: Cook the sausage until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Conclusion:
Homemade veal sausage is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and unique sausage that will impress your friends and family.
