METTWURST

Steps:

• Clean your meat of any silver skin, sinew, arteries and cut into small strips or cubes. Place in the freezer for an hour or until the temp reaches 32f - 34F.
• Prepare all of your seasonings, clean and rehydrate your casings, and if you plan on using a starter culture go ahead and rehydrate your starter culture at this point.
• Add your seasonings to the meat and toss to combine. Then grind your very chilled meat on a 4.5mm plate. Rechill your meat after grinding.
• If you plan on using a starter culture add it now to your ground meat then mix till it becomes very tacky. If you grab a small handful it will stick to your hand if you hold your hand upside down.
• Stuff your mince meat into the casings, link, and prick out any air pockets.

SIMPLE & EASY STOVE TOP METTWURST SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. I used my cast iron skillet for this recipe. I used 2 packages totaling 8 sausage links. You may use other sausages of choice also, Fresh or smoked.
• 2. Add the links to the cast iron skillet, then pour in the chicken broth, and cover and cook over medium high heat till most of the liquid evaporates.
• 3. Remove the lid then allow the sausages to brown on all sides, turning frequently till golden brown or as desired. Serve on your favorite buns with your favorite condiments. Enjoy. These sausages are made fresh in the Walt's store where I shop, not too many stores make their own homemade sausages anymore. They were quite tasty moist and juicy, and had great flavor. I just wanted to try something different, and both my husband & I loved them. You could also add onions and peppers to the skillet if desired, but since it was my first time having them I wanted to enjoy the true flavor of the sausage & they were really very good.
• 4. You could also add peppers like this which I did with the Irish Sausage which I bought from the same store.
