Salsiccia Siciliana

[wutang]

I have been looking for a nice italian sausage recipe. I have made a couple but haven't found "the one" yet. Well I think I might have now. This is adjusted slightly from a Len Poli recipe.

I used:
10 lbs pork butt
1.5 lb bacon
9 tsp kosher salt
4 tsp black pepper
4 tsp granulated garlic
6 tsp fennel seed
2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp coriander

The meat cut up and partially frozen


Coating the meat evenly with the seasonings


All ground up


Stuffed into natural casings.


Browned the sausage then it simmered all day in the homemade sauce. Plated up some pasta with sausage and a couple meatballs.


The whole family got together and gave compliments on the sausage. My wife and her sister both said it reminded them of the stuff they ate as kids. And my wife old italian grandmother gave a few compliments as well

I used the bacon cause the recipe called for some pork fat and bacon seemed like a fair substitution. I have previously made an italian sausage recipe that didn't have bacon, the coriander or white pepper. This recipe is definately better.
