Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 1/2 lbs. pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 10 large cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1/4 cup dry milk powder
  • 2 tbsp. ground Himalayan sea salt
  • 1/2 tbsp. red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp. Prague Powder #1 aka Insta Cure #1 or Pink Curing Salt
  • 3/4 cup dry red wine
  • 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, or to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)

Instruction

  • Place meat and grinder tools, including the bowl, in the fridge for 3 hours.
  • Remove the tools and process the meat through the meat grinder with the larger plate.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the ground meat and combine very well.
  • Place a plastic wrap making sure it touches the surface to prevent from drying and transfer to the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Make a small patty and cook it in a pan to verify the seasonings otherwise adjust the ingredients.
  • Lightly oil the sausage stuffer and put the casing on. On medium-low speed, fill up the casings and tie them. Prick the sausages (*see footnote).
