I know you folks can help me out. Wanna make fresh brats. I found this recipe somewhere. If I knew where I'd give credit.
Bratwurst Recipe w/ venison
I have made this before with veal instead of venison, which would be the classic brat, but the venison substitute worked very well.
7lbs pork butt
2lbs xtra clean venison trim (can use veal instead)
1 lb pork back fat
2 cups soy protein concentrate (optional but sure makes them plump)
1Tbs white pepper
1 Tbs mace
1 Tbs nutmeg
1 tsp ginger
4 Tbs salt
3 eggs
1 pint heavy cream
Grind meats through fine plate, mix all ingredients, stuff into 32-32mm hog casings. Refrigerate overnight to meld flavors.
Here's my questions. I'll be using some ground venison. All of our ground is mixed 66/33 Venison/cheap ground beef. I'll be grinding shoulder butts. No trimming. I do have about a pound of pork fat saved. Do you think I really need it or can I get away with 3 pounds ground venison? Opinions?
Also, it calls for soy protein. Can I sub this for powdered milk or even oatmeal? I know CA's answer, but same amount? Less or More? Opinions?
Would like to mix this up tonight and stuff tomorrow. Thanks in advance.
