Sausage
Killed a pig for sausage last week. There are a bunch of recipes that came out of that. All pork is 25-30% far with the remainder lean, put through a 7mm plate, unless otherwise noted:
Hot Italian Sausage
0.5% chili flakes
0.35% coriander
0.7% fennel
0.25% black pepper
1.25% mild paprika
^Toast these then grind
1% fresh or 0.25% dried oregano
1% fresh or 0.25% dried basil
1.5% salt
1.4% sugar
Per 1kg: 1/6 cup water and 1/6 cup red wine
I didn't stuff this, it makes an amazing pasta sauce base.
