  • About

Another tasty sausage to add to your repertoire. Its name comes from its shape, long like a tongue. Adjust the heat by adding more cayenne if you like.

Ingredients

  • 3½ pounds ground pork, ⅓ the weight in fat
  • 3 tablespoons finely minced garlic

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the casings and olive oil in a mixing bowl and mix well with your hands. Fry a small patty 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.
