Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shoulder

    Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brisket

    Season the brisket with salt, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let it sit for 30 minutes before cooking.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, and season generously with salt and black pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour.

Cooking the Meat

  1. 4

    Cook the Pork Shoulder

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place the marinated pork shoulder in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Cook for 4-5 hours until tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  2. 5

    Cook the Brisket

    Place the seasoned brisket in a smoker or on a grill at medium heat. Smoke or grill for 3-4 hours until it reaches the desired tenderness.

  3. 6

    Cook the Chicken

    Roast the marinated chicken in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Making the Homemade Sausage

  1. 7

    Prepare the Sausage Mix

    In a large bowl, combine ground pork, minced garlic, paprika, fennel seeds, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

  2. 8

    Stuff the Sausage

    Prepare the casings as per the instructions. Use a sausage stuffer to fill the casings with the sausage mixture. Twist into links and tie the ends.

  3. 9

    Cook the Sausage

    Grill or pan-fry the sausage links over medium heat until fully cooked, about 10-15 minutes.

Serving

  1. 10

    Plate and Serve
