๐ฟ Prepare Sausage Casings:
- Wash the sausage casings thoroughly inside and out in running water, ensuring they don’t escape down the drain.
- Fill the casings with tepid water and let them soak in the sink while preparing the sausage meat.
-
๐ฅฉ Prepare Sausage Meat:
- Cut all the meat into 1″ cubes, ready for mincing using the small holes of the mincer.
- Use the coarse blade to pass all the fat through the mincer.
- Change the blade to small and mince the lean meat finely.
-
๐ฟ Spice Blend:
- Grind salt, pepper, nutmeg, sage, and thyme in a spice mill until very fine.
- Mix the spice blend with the minced meat thoroughly, being gentle to avoid overworking; the meats should be completely homogenized.

๐ฉโ๐ณ Check Seasoning:
- Take a small patty of the sausage mixture and cook it in a frying pan to check the seasoning.
- Re-season if needed to achieve the perfect flavor balance.
-
๐ญ Fill and Shape Sausages:
- Slide the prepared sausage casings onto the filling tube and attach it to the mincer.
- Carefully fill the casings, avoiding over-tightening to prevent bursting during cooking.
- Twist the filled casings into suitable-sized links, creating that classic sausage shape.
-
๐ฐ๏ธ Maturation Process:
- Hang the sausages in a cool place for 24 hours to mature before freezing or cooking.
- This maturation step enhances the flavors and textures of the sausages, ensuring a delightful culinary experience.
