  • About 1 cup milk
  • Dried herbs (basil, thyme)
  • Olives or mushrooms as a supplement (half a cup of chopped)

Preparation:

The meat and lard passed twice through a meat grinder to achieve a soft smooth consistency. Add the stuffing beaten egg white, salt, spices, starch (dissolved in several spoonfuls of milk), pour the milk (guided by the density of meat, but it must "take" no less than half a cup). At the end add "stuffing." Sausage we cook. If you have an eye on natural casing like pig intestines - just wonderful. But we can well do with a plastic bag or cling film dense.

We spread the stuffing in the package, forming a round sausage "bar" of the desired thickness (not chase thick, otherwise it will be a long time to cook) .  Firmly and tightly tying for the reliability put in one or two package or several layers of the food film .  Boil water in a large saucepan .  You can add a little spice to the water or chicken stock cube .  In that case, if the water still gets in your sausage .  Cook takes about an hour or less - if the sausage made more "harmonious" .  Digest will be worse than undercooked .  In the second case, will have the opportunity to correct the mistake, the cut sausage subjected to further processing (in the oven, the pan, cut into pieces, and so forth) .  In the first case, you get ... you know that .  Of course, the disadvantage of this preparation is that you can not test the readiness of dishes, it is not vskroesh .  However, this is only the first time can be a problem .  That is, it is possible to learn from mistakes .  Overexposed for the first time - the next cut cooking time .  Undercooked - next time do not rush to remove from the stove .  Fire, by the way, all the time should be minimal!

In general, the ready-made (in your opinion) need to get the sausage out of the pan. Be sure to cool. And then you can cut and making a very useful sandwiches. And further. Of course, not every dye your sausage will not pale pink and very pale. To correct the color, you can use a pinch of turmeric added to the stuffing.

Another option tasty sausages

Ingredients:

  • A hen
  • Lard (pork fat)
  • 0, 5 - 1 cup of pure water and 2 tablespoons milk powder
  • Herbs (sage, thyme, tarragon, rosemary - it will find and like that).
  • Black pepper, white pepper
  • Garlic
  • Curcuma
  • Salt

For a soft consistency, you can once again skip through a meat grinder or blender.

If you are lucky to buy a pig intestines, and you know (have learned) how to handle them, then stretch the gut a special nozzle and fill the meat grinder small sausages (10-15 cm long). Bandaging each sausage string (or tying a knot intestine). Get 4-5 sausages. Or more ... Do not try to fill the intestine is very tight, we do not need it.

If you do not have guts, you can adopt a plastic wrap. Sausages on it will have to squeeze out of the pastry bag. Or from another very dense package (for example, a milk or a package for freezing). Cut the corner, fill stuffing, prepared to extrude plastic wrap, spread out on the table. We spread 3-4 cm thick sausages, retreating 5-7 cm from the edge of the film. Then wrap the free edge of the top, and continue to tighten our sausage in the film in a few turns. This approach to pack plump sausages without holes and voids.

When ready meat products, most remember the soup, who had been "happily" was boiling on the stove. You can send it directly into sausages in a pan. You can put them in a refractory form, and the Gulf of broth, send in a preheated oven.

Cooking time - about 15-20 minutes. Ready sausages in natural casing check the classic way: pierce with a fork, if it follows clear juice - you can eat. Ready sausages in the film must be determined on the eye and on time.

Garnish sausages to choose at its discretion. Will any cereal, and salad, and mashed potatoes.

Yes, if the chicken bones in the broth sorry you bought or minced chicken prepared in the store, you can do bouillon cubes. Or just add boiling water, spices.
