I made chubby little sausages. They actually turned out pretty good. This time I used a pound of beef short ribs, a pound each of salt pork belly/back fat (soaked overnight), and a couple pounds of chicken trimmings. These are somewhere between an emulsified frankfurter-esque sausage and a chunkier bratwurst type thing. Kind of like hot dogs but with chunky bits. Very mellow flavor to these guys as I used only salt, pepper, garlic, and a dash of red pepper. I am planning on carefully poaching them and then onto the grill.
Hiatus schmiatus.
ReplyDeleteThe links look beautiful. You ever think about smoking them? Mmm.
Even though you're on hiatus, the call of hot dogs & pork products is too much for you to deny. We understand completely... :0)
ReplyDeleteThose are some good-looking links! I might just be inspired to come out of my own hiatus of indeterminate length.
