Method

Sausage Preparation

Preparing the Sausage Mixture

In a large bowl, combine ground pork, fennel seeds, minced garlic, orange zest, orange juice, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo chili. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Stuffing the Sausages

Soak hog casings in water for 30 minutes. Rinse them thoroughly. Fit a sausage stuffer with the casings and fill with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends securely.

Cooking the Sausages

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.
