It's that time of year again! October is national Sausage month and Cajuneric has another series qued up....31 episodes! First video hit youtube couple hours ago...
Cajuneric
says the problem was not stuffing the salami tight enough by hand. Very plausible. That will contribute to voids in a salami. But with wild fermentation, it could also have been Lactobacillus strains that create CO2 which will create voids. The bacteria which create the eyes in swiss cheese for example, Propionibacterium freundenreichii, releases CO2 into the cheese forming the eyes. There are others....
Today's episode, Oct. 4th, is the reuben sausage.
I Like it! I think I will try a small batch but substitute Canada goose breast meat for the beef. And make it Pastrami sausage....maybe even a snack stick! Might cut it with some pork butt, and add brisket trim fat too (I have some on hand from trimming briskets) Awesome Celebrate Sausage series so far!!
