About

This basic sausage is good with pasta when you don’t want hot pepper or fennel flavors, and it’s ideal for Bollito Misto.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground pork, ⅓ of the weight in fat
½ cup brandy or red wine

Main course
Gluten-free

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the casing and olive oil in a mixing bowl and mix well with your hands. Fry a small amount as a test and adjust seasonings to taste.

Using the sausage attachment on a heavy-duty mixer, stuff the casings with the mixture and twist and tie to make 4-inch links.
