Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork butt roast
- 1 pound veal
- ½ pound fatback, diced
- 2 tablespoons dried sage
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground mace
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
- sausage casings
Instructions
- Cut pork and veal into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- Rinse salt off fatback thoroughly, then soak in warm water for 20 minutes. Remove.
- Toss pork, veal, fatback, sage, garlic powder, salt, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, mace, nutmeg, and pepper together very well and cover. Set in a refrigerator overnight for 12 hours.
- Pass all meat through a meat grinder. Lightly knead a couple of times, but everything should be close to blended evenly already. Cover and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse out casings, passing water through the interior. Let soak in warm water for 30 minutes.
- Knot one end of casing and slide the other end over a sausage stuffing attachment on your stand mixer. Feed cold ground meat into casing on medium-low speed. If it gets too warm it is a pain to feed into the casings.
- Twist into links of desired size as casing fills. Tie off other end after final link.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry sausages until browned and no longer pink in the centers, turning as needed, 10 to 15 minutes.
- You can cook these any way you like, or freeze for later use.
