Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta,* chopped
2 pounds Boston butt (pork shoulder), cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
1 pound Italian hot sausages, casings removed
2 cups chopped onions
3/4 cup chopped carrots
3/4 cup chopped celery
6 large fresh thyme sprigs
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
2 cups dry red wine
1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes in juice, tomatoes chopped, juice reserved
1 1/4 pounds ziti pasta
2 cups (packed) coarsely grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and sauté until brown and crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to bowl. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Add half of pork to drippings in pot; sauté until brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with pancetta. Repeat with remaining pork. Add sausage to same pot. Sauté until no longer pink, breaking up with back of fork, about 5 minutes. Add onions, carrots, celery, thyme, garlic, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add wine and bring to boil, scraping up browned bits. Add pancetta and pork with any accumulated juices; boil 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice. Cover and cook until pork is very tender, adjusting heat as needed to maintain gentle simmer and stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
  • Uncover pot; tilt to 1 side and spoon off fat from surface of ragù. Gently press pork pieces with back of fork to break up meat coarsely. Season ragù to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cool slightly. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and keep refrigerated. Rewarm over low heat before continuing.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish or other 4-quart baking dish. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta; mix into ragù. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper; transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle both cheeses over. Bake until heated through and golden, about 20 minutes.
  • *Pancetta (Italian bacon cured in salt) is available at Italian markets and in the refrigerated deli case of many supermarkets.

HMONG SPICY PORK SAUSAGE image

Categories     Pork

Yield pounds

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pounds marbled pork shoulder, cut into 3-by-1-inch strips
1 pound pork fat, cut into 2-by-1-inch strips
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 Thai chiles, minced
1/2 cup chopped Thai basil
1/4 cup finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, chilled
15 to 18 feet (about 1/2 ounce) salted pork or sheep casings

Steps:

  • 1.Spread meat and fat strips on 2 large rimmed baking sheets. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, dry seasonings and spices and sprinkle seasoning mixture all over meat & fat. Refrigerate the meat and fat for 15 min. Drizzle the liquid ingredients all over meat and fat. Freeze the seasoned meat and fat until very firm, about 45 min. 2.Chill the bowl of a stand mixer and the meat grinder's parts in freezer. Set up grinder with the coarse grinding plate; place the bowl below. With the machine at med-high speed, gradually drop in the meat and fat. Add any liquid on the baking sheets to the ground meat. 3.Put ground meat in the freezer again to keep it at 32° to 40° (at 45°, the fat begins to melt, ruining the texture of the sausage). Using clean hands or the paddle of the stand mixer, knead or beat the meat until a sticky mass forms, about 50 seconds; be careful not to let the meat get too warm. Refrigerate for up to 3 hours. 4.Meanwhile, soak pork or sheep casings in warm water for 30 min. Drain casings. Working over sink, gently run warm water through each casing. Pinch both ends and lift up the water-filled casing. Look for any spots that leak and cut out those portions. 5.Place the sausage stuffer in the freezer for 15 min. Set up sausage stuffer and slip all but 6"of a casing onto the tube, leaving trailing end untied. Tightly pack the sausage mixture into the canister. Start cranking the sausage stuffer very slowly until the meat emerges from the tube. Now tie a knot at the trailing end of the casing. Slowly crank the sausage into the casing, using your free hand to regulate how tightly the sausage is packed; make sure not to overstuff the casing. When the casing is nearly stuffed, tie off the end. 6.Starting at one end, pinch off the first link by pinching your fingers around the sausage to separate the filling;

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 ounces Spanish chorizo, chopped
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes, with their juice

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds mussels, rinsed, scrubbed, and de-bearded

PORK SAUSAGE (GARLICKY, SPICY)



PORK SAUSAGE (GARLICKY, SPICY) image

Categories     Pork

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 pounds pork shoulder, a good mix of lean and fat, cut into 1-inch chunks
12 cloves garlic, smashed
1 large bunch fresh sage or 2 small ones, finely chopped
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
3/4 cup cold water
1 cup grated Parmesan
Hog casings, rinsed with water run through them and stored in fresh water
Special equipment: meat grinder and sausage stuffer

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the pork, garlic, sage, salt and crushed red pepper. Run the meat mixture through the meat grinder outfitted with the die with the largest holes. Repeat so that all of the meat goes through the grinder twice. Place half of the meat mixture in the bowl of a standing mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Add half of the water and half of the Parmesan and beat on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat this process with the remaining meat, water and cheese. Make, cook and eat a test patty to make sure the sausage is delicious. Attach the sausage-stuffing attachment to the meat grinder, keeping the grinder blade and die in place also. Keeping the sausage casing very wet, slide a manageable length onto the sausage stuffer. Place a generous amount of the prepared sausage mixture into the grinder pan. Give the casings a slight bit of resistance by holding onto the sausage stuffer with your three last fingers and letting the casing slip through your thumb and forefinger. Turn the machine on a medium-low speed and fill the casings, being careful to avoid any air bubbles. To get the feel for stuffing the sausages, you might have to do a couple tries. The first couple might be too loose or too tight; that's ok--think of them as the first pancake (the one that never comes out right that you have to throw away). Twist the casings to create sausages that are even in size. Tie each with butcher's twine to keep them nicely sealed. Prick the sausages with a pin or skewer all over to allow steam to escape while cooking (you don't want to have a blowout). Preheat a grill or saute pan. Cook the sausages until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes on each side. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
