| Pork class II | 350 g | 0.77 lb |
| Beef class I | 150 g | 0.33 lb |
Ingredients per 1000g (1 kg) of meat
| Salt | 20 g | 3-1/3 tsp |
| Cure #1 | 2.5 g | 1/2 tsp |
| Sugar | 1.0 g | 1/5 tsp |
| Garlic | 1.5 g | 1/2 clove |
Instructions
- Cut meats into 5 cm (2") pieces (keep meat types separately) and mix with salt and Cure #1. Allocate the amount of salt and Cure #1 proportionally. Pack tightly in containers, cover with clean cloth and hold in refrigerator for 3 days.
- Cut pork class I into 25 mm (1”) cubes. Grind pork class II through 13 mm plate. Grind beef class I through 2-3 mm plate.
- Using food processor emulsify beef class I with 25% (37 ml, about 1 fl oz) of water adding spices during the process.
- Mix all pork until sticky. Add emulsified beef and mix everything together.
- Stuff firmly into 36-40 mm beef rounds or hog casings forming rings. Tie the ends together.
- Hang for 2 hours at room temperature.
- Apply hot smoke for 80-100 minutes until casings are brown. Increase the temperature and bake for about 60-80 minutes until sausages reach 68-70° C (154-158° F) internal temperature.
- Cool in air.
- Keep refrigerated. The sausage may be hung at 10-12° C (50-53° F). In both cases, the sausage will loose moisture becoming a semi-dry, then a dry sausage.
