Home-style Sausage

Some of the recipes we are posting ask for sausage. I have had this in our company cookbook and thought you all would appreciate it.

HOME-STYLE SAUSAGE

Ingredientes:

2 T brown sugar
4 tsp salt (or less)

1 T. sage

2 tsp. ground savory

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. crushed dried pepper

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 kg (2lb) of fresh ground pork

Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine all except pork; mix thoroughly. Add pork. Mix with hands to blend well. Cover and chill 6 hours or overnight. Shape into patties or use in gravy, on pizza or sausage balls.

*For best results, pork should have a minimum or 10-15% fat. So just ask the carnicero to throw a big piece of "grasa" in the grinder with the meat and watch him cringe in disgust. If you can't find savory, use extra sage.
