Finocchiona Ingredients

Method

Finocchiona Preparation

1

Prepare the Meat Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork shoulder and pork fatback. Mix well.

2

Add Seasonings

Add the red wine, fennel seeds, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3

Stuff the Casings

Rinse the hog casings in cold water and soak them in warm water for 30 minutes. Stuff the casing with the meat mixture, tying off the ends securely.

4

Cure the Finocchiona

Hang the stuffed sausages in a cool, dry place (ideally around 60°F/15°C) for 2-3 weeks to cure.

5

Slice and Serve

Once cured, slice the finocchiona and serve with cheese, bread, and olives.
