Ingredients
- 500g pork shoulder, cubed
- 250g pork back fat, cubed
- 200g chicken breast, cubed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 150ml heavy cream
- 100g bread, crustless, soaked in milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp white pepper
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp mace
- Salt to taste
- Natural sausage casings
Steps
Grind the pork shoulder, pork back fat, and chicken breast through a fine die of a meat grinder.
In a large bowl, combine the ground meats, onion, garlic, heavy cream, soaked bread, eggs, and spices. Mix well until a smooth, homogenous mixture forms.
Stuff the mixture into the natural sausage casings, twisting to form links about 6 inches long.
Poach the sausages in simmering water (not boiling) for about 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Tips
Avoid boiling the sausages, as this can cause them to burst. Gentle poaching ensures a tender texture.
