chickencam Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Years ago we used to buy these from a local butcher, who then went out of business, we now have a Kenwood chef and a mincer and sausage maker attachment and would love to have a go at making our own. I know that they have fennel seeds in them but beyond that I am clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Not a recipe but - Sainsbury's sell them so I looked on their website to see what's in them: Pork (83%), Fresh Fennel (9%), Italian Red Wine (2%), Fresh Basil, Olive Oil, Salt, Potato Starch, Fresh Sage, Black Pepper, Fresh Marjoram, Fresh Garlic, Fennel, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite, Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid, Filled into Natural Pork Casings. Not sure you would be using all those preservatives though! We had some a few months ago, but I was a bit disappointed - they were like ordinary sausages with fennel, rather than real Italian ones which always seem to be a bit chewier and drier (and meatier).

chickencam Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 All that I found when I googled was italian recipes with sausages in them and a couple of American ones which I found hard to translate. I think that we will try a chunky sausage mixture and add some fennel seed and plenty of black pepper and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You may find a recipe in the River Cottage forum - one of the members there is called the Sausage Maker and alsohas a website of his own selling all the sausage making things.

chickencam Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'll take a look, I have felt a bit intimidated by the RC forum when I have looked in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
