Yield Makes four 1-pound logs

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 boneless pork shoulder (4 pounds)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
Minced garlic (from 7 to 8 cloves)
1 tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Stir together sage, thyme, salt, garlic, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Arrange pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, on a rimmed baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes. Working in 4 batches (1 pound at a time), grind meat in a food processor until only small pieces of fat remain, and mix in about 2 tablespoons spice mixture; transfer to an 8-by-12-inch piece of parchment. Roll into a log. Twist at ends to secure.
