Sausage Ingredients

Method

Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Casings

    Soak the pork casings in water for at least 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, paprika, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and white wine. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Casings

    Using a sausage stuffer, carefully stuff the meat mixture into the prepared pork casings, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends of the sausages with kitchen twine.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sausages

    Grill or pan-fry the sausages over medium heat until they are cooked through and browned on the outside, approximately 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving whole. Enjoy with your favorite sides or in a sandwich.
