Did a batch of sausage this morning. These will be made into patties. I decided to go with a "warm" batch instead of mild or hot.
Started out with a 7 pound boneless butt. After some trimming. I ended up with 6.5 pounds.
Cut up and put in the freezer for 2 hours.
Now onto the grinding. Mine was making some strange noises. And starting to smell hot. And my brother from another mother Robert
tx smoker
gifted me with his old unit since he just bought a new one. Talk about timing right?
This grinder is a beast! All metal gears. And chewed through the semi frozen pork like butter.
Ground up and ready for the spices. I rounded the amounts for a 6 pound batch.
6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
2.5 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon onion powder
2 tablespoon dried basil
4 teaspoons paprika
4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1.5 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Mix vinegar first to moisten then mix in spices until well blended.
And did a text patty.
Great taste! And the fat content is dead on. I love butts! Um, well. You know what I mean!
