directions

  • Mix all the ingredients thoroughly except casings.
  • Then allow mixture to set covered in refrigerator at least 1/2 hours You want your mixture to be nice and cold when you put it into the casings.
  • It is actually best left overnight if possible.
  • This will also help blend all the flavors of the spices nicely.
  • When cold enough fill your casings turning every 10" to make a small sausage.
  • Or you can lay the meat on a wax paper take another wax paper, lay it on top.
  • Roll out the meat, with your biscuit cutter, dip in water, and cut rounds.
  • These you can nicely put in plastic freeze in baggies and they will be ready when you are.
  • When you want to make them, put a little olive oil in the pan to prevent sticking, heat, and make the patties or sausages.
  • These sausages are also great on the grill or for any Italian meals-- They are not over powering in flavor.
  • Enjoy--.

  1. Great sausages, strong with fennel and black pepper, just like we had them in Sicily. I did use more salt, 1 1/2 ts per pound.

  3. Someday I hope to be brave enough to try this recipe (Where does one get "casings"??)... I always am worried about what ACTUALLY goes into premade sausages (quality of meat etc.) and think it's awesome that you make your own! Kudos to you glitter!

I am an avid cook and recipe collector. I've been cooking since I was 9 yrs. old. I am the first American from my family so I cook many different European dishes, everything from west to east. If I had a month just to do what I would like to do...I would like to cook that month with a famous chef. I also write a bulletin for a Service to Mankind organization. Since I collect recipes anywhere I can see them, I've been asked to share them with my readers. So this site is wonderful not just for me!
