Saucisses de Toulouse- Homemade Toulouse Sausages

Saucisses de Toulouse- Homemade Toulouse Sausages

These sausages are easy to make and are similar to thick, country-style Italian pork sausages with garlic and thyme. They're excellent on the grill served with mashed potatoes and Dijon mustard, or swimming in beans in a cassoulet.

Instructions

One or two days in advance, coarsely dice pork, bacon, and pancetta. Mix in salt, peppers, nutmeg, sugar, and garlic. Push everything through the coarse plate of a meat grinder or chop roughly by pulsing in a food processor. Then mix in the white wine and seasonings. Place in a plastic freezer bag, seal, and refrigerate overnight.
Soak casing in warm water for 30 minutes. Place one end over faucet nozzle and run cold water through to rinse. Tie a knot at one end a unroll onto a medium sized sausage nozzle. Loosely stuff meat into casings and twist filled casings at 6-inch intervals to shape sausages. Poach sausage by adding to boiling water and the reduce heat to simmer them for 10 minutes. Remove them, dry with paper towels, then brush with fat and refrigerate overnight.

Notes

Lightly poached sausages can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for 3-4 months before defrosting and using in a recipe or for grilling.
