Instructions

  1. Cut the meat and fat into 2 cm pieces and place them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  2. Pass the meat through a medium-grate meat grinder, keeping the pieces very cold.
  3. Add the crushed garlic, salt, pepper, marjoram and nutmeg to the ground meat.
  4. Knead for 3 minutes with the cold water until you get a smooth, sticky filling.
  5. Fill the casing with the mixture using a funnel, without leaving air pockets.
  6. Shape the sausages about 15 cm long by twisting them, then prick any air bubbles.
  7. Cook the sausages in a pan over medium heat for 20 minutes, turning them regularly.
  8. Serve hot with sauerkraut and potatoes.

Variations and tips

Grilled version. Grill the sausages on the barbecue for 10 minutes per side over medium heat.

Using what's available. If natural casing is hard to find, use collagen casing available from butchers or specialty shops.
