  • I remember making sausage with my father, ever since I was a young child. It was a family affair and an annual event. This episode will help keep the tradition alive, by sharing each step, from start to finish, all the tips and the proven recipe which I (Ivo) developed. This process has been mastered over the years, resulting in an absolutely delicious Italian Sausage.
    0:00 Introduction and Equipment
    3:16 Cuts of Meat
    9:49 Grinding
    11:24 Spices
    18:00 Casings (I use natural casing 32 - 35 mm) (here's a similar one: amzn.to/3JVk6Zo)
    23:24 Filling
    Sausage Meat Grinder: amzn.to/3FwiLpz
    *Pepper Paste can be found here;
    CA amzn.to/3cTMdqz
    US amzn.to/3DYNfgR
    I actually used a brand called Muraca - it's imported from Italy, but difficult to find
    TO YOUR GROUND PORK, ADD:
    ► 4.5 gms (0.159 oz) of salt/lb of meat
    ► 1.5 gms (0.529 oz) of black pepper/lb of meat (optional)
    ► 0.85 gms (0.03 oz) of hot chili flakes/lb (for medium-hot sausage) (optional)
    ► 2.5 gms (0.0882 oz) of paprika/lb of meat
    ► 0.5 to 1 gm (0.0176 oz to 0.0353 oz) of fennel seeds/lb of meat (optional)
    ► 25 gms (0.882 oz) of pepper paste/sauce per lb of meat (i.e. a 1-liter Jar does 35 - 40 lbs)
    ► 1 cup of dry red wine/10 lbs of meat (optional)
    NOTES:
    ► 20 YDS of sausage casings, will be enough to do 25 - 30 lbs of ground meat
    ► The best cut of pork to use, are pork shoulder butts
    ► The second best cut of pork to use are whole pork shoulder (i.e. NY Shoulder)
    ► The third best cut of pork to use would be Picnic Pork Shoulder
    ► Remove any “blubbery” fat, keep “firm” fat (do not make your meat too lean - sausage needs fat)
    ► Use a meat grinder plate with ½ inch holes
    ► Mix all ingredients very well
    ► Fill casings so that they are firm to touch
    Thank you!

    I’ve been making sausage for approximately 70 years starting with when I was a small boy and we always run a slice of bread through the grinder when we’re done which takes out everything that’s in it and helps clean it up a little bit then you can do what was left over if you want to

    Hey mate! Great video, A tip I learnt from my dad who was a butcher for 50+ years, Always have your nozzle wet when threading the casing as this will ease the casing on, dip the tip of the casing in a little of the water before you thread for ease of threading. will make life a lot easier.

    Been making sausage for 40yrs since I was a little kid with pops.
    I moved away from pepper sauce years ago only to realize now, my ratio was off. I also use to use caraway and garlic and so glad I moved to fennel minus garlic.. This recipe is dead on!! Thank you for sharing and bringing back memories of what Italian sausage should taste like!!

    Looks like a good recipe. Looking forward to trying it out. And just FYI for newbies or those that don’t know…. If you use stainless steel stuffer tubes instead of plastic, you won’t have the issue of the casing sticking to them. It makes for a lot easier prep, as well as cleanup. Definitely worth the small extra cost.

Put that into different weighted vacuum seal bags, and now have 10 packages of sausage. I fried 2 small patties and had that for my brunch. Delicious. Thank you so very much for this excellent tasting sausage. I’m going to make it myself from now on. Thanks again. Diana C.

    Love what you are doing. Just a couple comments you probably know but I am not trying to be critical. May I suggest when the meat stops filling the casings you can use moist bread to force rest of meat into casing. I wonder if you only soak casing a few minutes because I found out that overnight or up to 2 days in fridge makes a big difference when it comes to placing casing over tube and making sure center of casing is centered over tube and if the casing is well soaked it doesn't usually bind .Also the ring color generally tells the size of casing. Where I come from the casings do not get packed quite so nice but I learned from you when I take them apart I can put the back together like you. Again you may already know these tips.

    Great job on this video. I searched Italian sausage recipes for several days and this was the best one I came across. Well explained and put together.
    I used this recipe to make 14lbs of elk sausage last night.
    I ground a total 14lbs useing a 3/1 elk trimmings to pork fat. My wife found the Italian pepper sause at some wrold market in town.
    I cooked some this morning and I would say the sausage came out prety good.
    I highly recommend sampling the red wine first. The recipe calls for 1cup/10lbs dry red. I used 1cup of cabernet for 14lbs and the wine really cuts through for a powerfull distinctive flavor. I would definitely use a different wine next time or just leave it out. Other than that, this recipe is a winner.

    Now I want to start making sausages 😂 Thankyou for making me to have another interest to pile up with the others 😂 anyway, my mum from south Italy used also another recipe that you might want to try, with wild fennels seed and pepper powder, I remember the recipe you use in this video but not with pepper paste but pepper powder, we also dried it up in the cantina of my grandfather in south Italy, and was like a salami that we cut once dried and used in our tomato sauce to go with cavatelli, that was amazing!

    Excellent video! I am making sausage this weekend. I like to send a slice of bread through the grinder at the end of grind and stuffing so you get ALL the meat.
