Easy recipe: make your own sausages
With all the scandal over what's really going into our sausages, Chef Kevin Joseph teaches us how to make our own quick-quick.
Chef Kevin writes:
A big part of the fun in making your own sausage is coming up with new and different blends of sausage spices and seasonings. Start with recipes you know you enjoy, and add or subtract spices and amounts as you experiment.
Want more fennel flavor in your Italian sausage? Add a little more to the next batch.
Remember to keep a record of what you have done though, so you can duplicate your winners or tank your losers. There are certainly many more sausage spices. This is the selection that I have on hand and enjoy. You will likely develop favorites of your own as you experiment for yourself.
