Are you looking to add a little spice to your culinary adventures? Why not try making homemade Calabrese sausage? This delicious and flavorful Italian sausage is the perfect addition to pasta dishes, pizzas, and sandwiches. Don’t worry if you’ve never made sausage before – we have you covered with this step-by-step guide.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for making the Calabrese sausage:

  • 3 pounds of pork shoulder, diced
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of paprika
  • 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • Natural hog casings

Prepare the Meat

Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to prepare the meat:

  1. Trim off any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into small pieces.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pork shoulder, minced garlic, paprika, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt. Mix well, ensuring that the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight or at least for a few hours. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Stuff the Sausage

Now comes the fun part – stuffing the sausage:

  1. Soak the natural hog casings in warm water for about 30 minutes to make them pliable.
  2. Attach a sausage-stuffing attachment to a meat grinder or sausage stuffer.
  3. Take a section of the casing and slide it onto the sausage-stuffing tube, leaving about a 6-inch overhang.
  4. Push the seasoned meat mixture through the stuffer, letting it fill the casing evenly. Be careful not to overstuff or under-stuff the sausage.
  5. Twist the sausage at regular intervals to create individual links.
  6. Once all the sausage has been stuffed, tie off the ends of the casing to secure the sausages.

Cook and Enjoy!

Your homemade Calabrese sausages are now ready to be cooked and enjoyed:

  1. If you plan to cook the sausages immediately, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
  2. If you want to save the sausages for later use, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the freezer for up to three months.
  3. Once cooked, serve the sausages with your favorite dishes or use them to create mouthwatering recipes.

Now that you know how to make delicious Calabrese sausages at home, you can impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Homemade sausage not only tastes better but also allows you to control the quality of ingredients. Give it a try and elevate your dishes to a new level!
