Basic recipe sausage

When making sausage it is necessary to use quality ingredients and spices full of taste. In addition, the meat and preferably the grinder must be really cold. It's best to put the meat in the fridge before grinding in order to have it around +-0°C. If the mince is warmer than 4 degrees, there is a risk of getting a dry and dull sausage. It is also important to keep in mind when making sausages to choose fatter cuts, for example loin or chuck. The mince should have at least 20% fat for the sausage to be juicy. Alternatively, use coarsely ground leaner cuts and add finer ground fatty cuts or lard and tallow.
