  • For homemade sausages it's best to use two kinds of ground meat — chicken and beef. You can change the combination and proportions to suit your taste and to vary the flavor. To get fully natural sausages, grind the meat yourself; if you don't have time, use store-bought. In a deep bowl, combine the ground beef and ground chicken. Cut the fatback into small cubes, add it to the meat, and mix well — the fatback should be fresh, not salted. Peel the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Wash the vegetables; cut the onion and pepper into very small cubes; the garlic can be chopped, but it's better to press it through a garlic press so it spreads evenly through the meat. Add the vegetables to the meat base and mix well. Next add salt, paprika, ground pepper, coriander, and a natural chicken seasoning. If you like, you can add other favorite spices — nutmeg works well in sausages. Mix the seasoned meat well and add very cold water. Mix the contents of the bowl well again, aiming for a completely uniform mixture. Rinse thin pork casings thoroughly inside and out — but it's better to use prepared store-bought ones. There's no need to cut the casings into portions before filling. Fill one, cut it off leaving a small tail, and tie off the sausage. Each one is best at 12–15 cm long. Fill the pork casing with the meat using a stuffing attachment on a meat grinder, or use the cut-off top of a plastic bottle. Don't pack it too tightly, or the casing may burst while frying. The sausages are ready — you can cook them right away or freeze them for later. Before cooking, be sure to thaw them completely and make about 10 punctures in each sausage with a sharp needle; this helps keep them intact while they cook. Enjoy!
