Did up another of brats last nite. My 4yo is still limited with a very small mouth, so I stuffed this into sheep casings. Hog casings stuffed are almost as big as her mouth, then add a bun n kraut and its impossible for her to eat. Used small grind plate on the KA grinder, ground once. Used poli's nurnberg brats recipe but cut back on the white pepper and caraway, was simply too heavy last time we made em. Used some chicken breast tenders cause that's all that was thawed out. Definitely need to use thighs next time. Much better results. Even after adding close to 1/4 cup of olive oil, being breast meat, the pan test did tend to get dry after it sat a while. The links are no way near as bad to dry out. Here's some Qview. Sorry, no completed fried up links, they disappeared too quickly.
all ground up ready for seasoning
in stuffer ready to get busy.
getting linked up
one batch of poached links drying after getting the cool down. used high
sided electric skillet rather than break out the turkey roaster didn't
bother to prick air bubbles, didn't want to loose the olive oil i had to
add for lack of fat. wanted to keep it inside.
