Meat

Spices and Seasonings

Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Combine Meat Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and pork fat (if using). Mix well until evenly combined.

Adding Spices

  1. 2

    Incorporate Seasonings

    Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, thyme, and sage to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed.

Moisture Addition

  1. 3

    Mix in Ice Water

    Gradually pour in the ice water while mixing the meat and spice blend. This helps to keep the sausage juicy. Continue mixing until the mixture is sticky and well combined.

Stuffing the Sausage

  1. 4

    Prepare Casings

    Soak the sausage casings in water for at least 30 minutes to soften them. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

  2. 5

    Stuff the Sausage

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully fill the casings with the meat mixture. Twist the sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.

Cooking

  1. 6

    Cook the Sausages

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C).
