I’ve always liked sausage. There was an indoor market called Marché du Village near where I was living in Brossard which my mother and I shopped there quite often. There were a lot of small shops and one of them was selling deli and sausages. Going to this quaint little store, I discovered many kinds of sausages that I never knew existed. There was a wide selection of European, African as well as South & North American sausages to choose from. From mild to spicy, they were sure to please anyone’s taste!
David and I are quite independent when it comes to buying what we want. He doesn’t need me to buy stuff and I’m the same way until a couple of months before Christmas of course, then it’s another story. We both write a list and send it to “Santa”.
A few years ago, I put a sausage attachment kit for my stand mixer on the list and because I was not on the naughty list…. sure enough Santa got it for me! At that point I had no choice but to learn how to make sausage.
It’s not really hard to make them… you just need some practice and make sure that the casing is not overstuffed. I’m not an expert sausage maker but after a few tries, I got the hang of it and I’m sure you can too.
In this episode, I will not share any specific recipes with you but just show you the technique used to make homemade sausages. After watching this video, I hope it will give you some inspiration to not only make them but also to experiment with new taste sensations using different herbs and spices… that is the fun of making your own sausages. Have fun with your sausages, brats, bangers and wienerwurst! Bon Appétit!
Andouille Homemade Sausage (coming up June 12th, 2018)
Just a quick reference… If you have 2 lbs. of meat, you should be able to make about 8 sausages (1/4 lb. each) and it’s good for 4 people. Five pounds of meat will make 20 sausages therefore 10 servings.
