More Utopenci

[oddegan]

Making another batch of Utopenci. This time with about 4 pounds of homemade Vienna's. Lots of garlic, some small onions, Anaheim and habanero.

All ready for a long nap in the fridge. See you in two weeks little sausages.

That looks so good, can you explain what it is? I’ve heard of it but have no idea what it is.

 

[oddegan]

It's a Czech pickled sausage. Mine is kind of the lazy man's version. Allspice, peppercorns, coriander, mustard seeds, and bay leaves in mine.

Can't say I've ever eaten or heard of them, but they look like their gonna be real good.

Point for sure.

Going to have a brew day in a few weeks and we always need good beer food.

What kind of sausage are you using, looks very good.

Sorry I should have read your OP better, I have never tried making
Vienna sausage before, what spices do you use?

 

[oddegan]

what spices do you use?

The dominant one is going to be mace, but there is garlic and onion and a few other things as well.

Thanks, I have made pickled sausage before but never really hit on what type of
sausage to use. I will try a Vienna sausage it looks like it might work very well in
a pickle brine.

Those look great

 

[tropics]

Is that sausage cooked fully before pickling ?

Looks good to me. I've not thought of making my own Vienas for Utopenci. I usually just use store bought kielbasa. But now you've got me thinking...

 

[oddegan]

Yes. I like to steam them so they sweat out some water and have extra room for brine uptake. That's my theory any way.

That's what I had always used and I was never totally happy with the result. I decided to try these once upon a time and have really liked how the have turned out.

Look good!

Had a little back bacon going today as well.

My God does that look good. I am putting that one on my bucket list. Congrats !
