Kielbasa time

[irishteabear]

I made 5 lbs of Kielbasa today using Rytek's recipe. Taste test was pretty good.





Some for dinner tonight, the rest will be smoked tomorrow.

[irishteabear]

I got the recipe from his book Great Sausage Recipes and Meat Curing by Rytek Kutas. I can highly recommend it.

Great looking sausage Dawn.
Was that a Kitchenade in the shot?
If so, how well does that work for making sausage? Have thought about picking up the attachment.

So are they cured or fresh? If cured they probably would be suitable for shipping to friends wouldn't they. Just askin....

 

[larry maddock]

how are you going to cook them for dinner????

 

[crackhead]

Ive made a little bit (40# or so) with a Kitchen-Aid and they are OK, I guess.. Prob not as good as a dedicated stuffer, but they seem to grind just fine..

 

[irishteabear]

Yes, it's a KA. It works great for small batches. I wouldn't do more than 10 lbs at a time with it though. Mine is limping along right now.

This batch is fresh. If you cured them properly, yes they would be fine for shipping.

 

[irishteabear]

I'll put them in a frypan with a bit of water and simmer them until they reach 152, then will saute them until browned.

Looks great. I think its time for me to get ready to make some.

Kielbasa got 4

. Personally, I think next time I'm going to add more seasonings.



Yes, it looks a little pink inside even though they were cooked to 180 by the time they were browned. The remaining kielbasa will be hot smoked tomorrow.
