Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

  • 2 pounds lean ground pork
  • 1 pound pork fat, minced
  • 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons anisado wine
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoons paprika
  • hog casings, about 12 to 15 feet
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • funnel
  • kitchen twine

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine ground pork, pork fat, garlic, soy sauce, anisado wine, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well-blended.

  2. 2

    Refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and to firm up the meat mixture.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, soak casings in warm water for about 30 minutes and drain well. In the sink, run warm water through casings. Check for spots with leaks and cut these sections.

  4. 4

    On one end of the casing, insert the nozzle of a funnel. Scoop pork mixture into funnel and gently pack into casings, leaving about 5 inches on both ends. Tie off one end into a double knot. Alternatively, you can tie it with fine kitchen twine.

  5. 5

    To make individual sausage links, pinch sausage at intervals of about 4 inches. Gently twist the sausage link at this "pinched" point in one complete rotation.

  6. 6

    Repeat this process down the coil but alternating the direction of twisting (towards you and away from you) from one link to the next. Tie off the other end into a double knot or with kitchen twine.

  7. 7

    Place in a ziplock bag and refrigerate overnight or freeze.

  8. 8

    When ready to cook, cut sausage into individual links and prick once or twice.

  9. 9

    In a pan over medium heat, combine links and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook until meat is cooked through and liquid is almost absorbed.

  10. 10

    Add oil and continue to cook, stirring regularly, until sausages are caramelized. Remove from pan and serve hot.
