Equipment

  • Hachoir

Ingredients

  • 1150 g of pork shoulder
  • 500 g of pork belly
  • 50 g of sweet paprika
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 7 g of black pepper whole
  • 5 g of hot chili powder
  • 4 g of ground cumin
  • 5 g of dried oregano
  • 5 leaves bay leaves
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 35 g of fine sea salt
  • Natural pork casings, 30 mm in diameter

Procédé

  • Place the casings in a bowl of cold water and soak for 1 hour.
  • Cut the meat into chunks, remove the skin from the belly, and discard any cartilage or bone.
  • Transfer the meat to a large mixing bowl.
  • Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind the salt, pepper, and all the remaining spices into a very fine powder. Sprinkle over the meat and mix until every piece is evenly coated.
  • Pass the seasoned meat through a meat grinder fitted with an 8 mm (⅜-inch) plate.
  • Slide a casing onto a 19 mm (¾-inch) stuffing tube, tie a knot at the end, and stuff, guiding the casing with one hand so each sausage keeps the same thickness.
  • Hang the sausages in a space with about 70 % humidity at 12 °C (54 °F) for at least 3 weeks to cure.
