Preparation Steps

Prepare the Meat
Cut the pork shoulder and pork fat into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size to ensure easy grinding.

Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves using a knife or garlic press.

Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cubed pork shoulder, pork fat, minced garlic, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, red wine, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Grind the Mixture
Using a meat grinder, grind the mixture twice to achieve a fine texture. If you don’t have a grinder, you can use a food processor, but be careful not to over-process the mixture.

Prepare the Casings
Soak the pork casings in water for about 30 minutes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any salt.

Stuff the Sausages
Fit the sausage stuffer with the prepared casings, then carefully stuff each casing with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends of the casings securely.
