Base Sausage
This is technically a sausage but really you want to choose some seasoning to go with it.
Ingredients
Makes 2 Pounds.
- 2 lbs pork shoulder with 20+% fat content, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Small handful of kosher salt
- Sausage seasonings as desired
Method
- Combine the meat, salt, and seasonings in a large bowl and toss with clean hands until homogeneous.
- Refrigerate 12-24 hours.
- Grind Meat or use store bought ground meat.
- Use your hands or a paddle attachment to mix the ground meat until it gets sticky — around 2-5 minutes depending on the method. This stickiness is the key that turns it into sausage.
