Making Italian Sausage, from Scratch - Complete Step-by-Step Guide and Recipe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I remember making sausage with my father, ever since I was a young child. It was a family affair and an annual event. This episode will help keep the tradition alive, by sharing each step, from start to finish, all the tips and the proven recipe which I (Ivo) developed. This process has been mastered over the years, resulting in an absolutely delicious Italian Sausage.
0:00 Introduction and Equipment
3:16 Cuts of Meat
9:49 Grinding
11:24 Spices
18:00 Casings (I use natural casing 32 - 35 mm) (here's a similar one: amzn.to/3JVk6Zo)
23:24 Filling
Sausage Meat Grinder: amzn.to/3FwiLpz
*Pepper Paste can be found here;
CA amzn.to/3cTMdqz
US amzn.to/3DYNfgR
I actually used a brand called Muraca - it's imported from Italy, but difficult to find
TO YOUR GROUND PORK, ADD:
► 4.5 gms (0.159 oz) of salt/lb of meat
► 1.5 gms (0.529 oz) of black pepper/lb of meat (optional)
► 0.85 gms (0.03 oz) of hot chili flakes/lb (for medium-hot sausage) (optional)
► 2.5 gms (0.0882 oz) of paprika/lb of meat
► 0.5 to 1 gm (0.0176 oz to 0.0353 oz) of fennel seeds/lb of meat (optional)
► 25 gms (0.882 oz) of pepper paste/sauce per lb of meat (i.e. a 1-liter Jar does 35 - 40 lbs)
► 1 cup of dry red wine/10 lbs of meat (optional)
NOTES:
► 20 YDS of sausage casings, will be enough to do 25 - 30 lbs of ground meat
► The best cut of pork to use, are pork shoulder butts
► The second best cut of pork to use are whole pork shoulder (i.e. NY Shoulder)
► The third best cut of pork to use would be Picnic Pork Shoulder
► Remove any “blubbery” fat, keep “firm” fat (do not make your meat too lean - sausage needs fat)
► Use a meat grinder plate with ½ inch holes
► Mix all ingredients very well
► Fill casings so that they are firm to touch
Thank you!

Can you give me your wine recipes with your sausage ones? I knew a man that hung his sausages in the cellar and would cut off the mold and then cut us some fresh sausages.

Hi guys, I'm from melbourne aust. I found your recipes easy to follow,especially a second generation greek cypriot
I really like the fact that you gave the spice ratio per pound of meat and not just the amount applicable to the amount you were making.
Just anyone who puts a sausage video out can make good sausages, BUT explaining it is a completely different talent. Coias is a pro at both. Joy to watch and very inspiring.
I’ve been making sausage for approximately 70 years starting with when I was a small boy and we always run a slice of bread through the grinder when we’re done which takes out everything that’s in it and helps clean it up a little bit then you can do what was left over if you want to

Same memory here, I do remember using bread for the last spin. When I was a kid I was helping my mom using a grinder, it was one of my favorite tool in a kitchen 👌

It's seems like every one learn charcuterie by their own. I've been looking for school or training center where I can learn charcuterie but unfortunately I never find. Do you know any please? Is it possible to learn on line and do very good product?
Hey mate! Great video, A tip I learnt from my dad who was a butcher for 50+ years, Always have your nozzle wet when threading the casing as this will ease the casing on, dip the tip of the casing in a little of the water before you thread for ease of threading. will make life a lot easier.

Glad you enjoyed this video and thanks for sharing your tips with us👍
Always wanted to make my own sausages - you are both absolutely terrific with your easy manner and clear explanations. Will definitely try this when time allows. Thank you.
The clearest instructions I’ve found yet. Thanks!
Great video. I like how it didn’t feel rushed and very calm. Attention to detail and not skipping little steps was much appreciated.
This was fascinating and educational. I have worked with my old butcher once to make a country sausage and it was a lot of fun (and work). Thank you for creating, filming, editing, and posting this.
What a very enjoyable production. I've been looking for an Italian sausage recipe for quite some time. I live in TX and there just isn't any good Italian around and forget the store bought stuff. Grew up in the north east, full of great old family Italians that knew sausage . Some of the best meals you can find anywhere come out of Italian family homes! Thank you
Greetings everyone in the sausage world! This is phenomenal..I can't even find the words to describe this. I'm sure your Father is smiling down on you...great recipe..thank you for sharing. Puerto Rico thanks you!
Simply fantastic! Thanks to both of you for a very well made video.
Great job on this video. I searched Italian sausage recipes for several days and this was the best one I came across. Well explained and put together. I used this recipe to make 14lbs of elk sausage last night. I ground a total 14lbs useing a 3/1 elk trimmings to pork fat. My wife found the Italian pepper sause at some wrold market in town. I cooked some this morning and I would say the sausage came out prety good. I highly recommend sampling the red wine first. The recipe calls for 1cup/10lbs dry red. I used 1cup of cabernet for 14lbs and the wine really cuts through for a powerfull distinctive flavor. I would definitely use a different wine next time or just leave it out. Other than that, this recipe is a winner.
Ive done the stuffing with my grinder as well until I got a dedicated sausage stuffer and it’s so much easier , great video, great recipe, you guys did an awesome job , best sausage making video on utube,great explanation and straight to the point. Btw the sausages look fantastic, I’ll be making them sometime this week. Toronto Canada here. Bon appetite
Your teachings of making Italian Sausage was so clear and in detailed...not in a rush....Your voice was so cool that everyone could understand every single thing on making sausage....Thank you very much for all your effort teaching us how to make sausage that I think a very special Italian sausage ...I'm here in the Philippines watching you....Thank you very much and thank also to the woman that explainwhat to do about the hog casing.....♥️
Best casing tutorial I have seen yet. Thanks Laura !!!!
Tried this recipe today. Absolutely perfect!! You nailed it!! Been making sausage for 40yrs since I was a little kid with pops. I moved away from pepper sauce years ago only to realize now, my ratio was off. I also use to use caraway and garlic and so glad I moved to fennel minus garlic.. This recipe is dead on!! Thank you for sharing and bringing back memories of what Italian sausage should taste like!! Cheers Ontario Canada

Thank you so much for the recipe and instructions. I knew this would be fantastic when I saw Laura come in! I love her Sew Easy KZread channel. A sign this would be a fabulous fit for our families recipe box.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way you made the sausage. A blessed couple you are
Beautiful sausage instructions seem very easy to follow can’t wait to try it!
This looks like a great way to spend some time. Thanks for sharing!
Wow thanks to you and your wife for this amazing video! I can’t wait to make this! I love how you did the step by step and amount of ingredients thanks again
Hey there! Thank you both for your instructions. It helped fill the gaps that allowed me to make Cajun boudin, Green Onion Sausage and Italian Sausage. Thank you both for a very well made video.
I grew up in the same way you describe. My parents are passed now but I continue the tradition with my cousins and friends. Your ingredients of spices are the same as mine including the sweet pepper paste, but minus the fennel seeds. I'm still using my parents #10 manual grinder, it must be about 45 years old now. I put a motor to it and it grinds like crazy. Thanks for sharing your tradition with us!

I cleaned out the freezer yesterday, and came up with 7 lbs./3.2 kg. of pork butt. Today, I made it all into Italian sausage. Put that into different weighted vacuum seal bags, and now have 10 packages of sausage. I fried 2 small patties and had that for my brunch. Delicious. Thank you so very much for this excellent tasting sausage. I’m going to make it myself from now on. Thanks again. Diana C.
This looks great! Thank you, a must try.
Cute and very simplistic. Loved it. Enjoy!
Looks like a good recipe. Looking forward to trying it out. And just FYI for newbies or those that don’t know…. If you use stainless steel stuffer tubes instead of plastic, you won’t have the issue of the casing sticking to them. It makes for a lot easier prep, as well as cleanup. Definitely worth the small extra cost.
I just finished making this recipe. OMG it is SOOOOOOOOO good. Thank You!! I cannot believe how perfect my sausage turned out. Your explainations and demonstrations are just SPOT ON. Thank You! This will be my GO TO recipe from NOW ON. oh yeah I did make 2 patties and cooked them to see if it needed any other spice. OH NO. Perfect!

I love this video, very good understandable instructions. Thank you Mam and Sir.
Great recipe and wonderful instructions! Thank you for sharing!
I have always air dried any sausage I make. I use my dehydrator so the skins don't feel tacky. This will help keep the sausages from splitting if they are to be grilled, or smoked. I make a lot of smoked sausage. I pre-freeze sausages, so they don't get mis-shapen when vac packed, then into the freezer. Your idea of running ground meat back through at the end of the grind so all the meat gets ground is great. And one I will be using. Thank you for making this video. Always good to see how people work together.
Most videos I struggle to get through, yours was great. Thanks!
Laura is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you for the in-depth video! I can’t wait to give this a go!
You are such a good teacher.👍👍
I just happened onto your channel and cannot wait to make this sausage. The spice combination sounds spot on. Thank you. Diana C.

Just found your video on KZread, I liked it very much, it brought me very pleasant memories of my life when I was just a boy in the 1970s down in Brazil. Even being just a boy that time, I used to work with a lady next door and she used to make Chorizo and Sausage to sell at the weekends market. Nowadays I live in England and I stil love the country side life stile and the rustic way to make Chorizo and Sausage. We have an italian market in town and I buy it every week. Thanks for your vídeos, wish you all the best. 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video! I am making sausage this weekend. I like to send a slice of bread through the grinder at the end of grind and stuffing so you get ALL the meat.
Just made this sausage, and it came out perfect.... & delicious! Watched your video a couple of times before proceeding, and it was flawless. Thank you :)

Thank you for these really well done videos. Making capicola and now, successfully, Italian sausage. My Dad was a meat cutter who supervised three stores (Pic-n-Pay and later Finest) in Cleveland for over 40 years. We always had the finest cuts of meat that never made it to the meat case for customers. I am so sad that I never paid attention to his cooking and ways of cutting meat. Such a loss of knowledge that could have been handed down. Now I am learning from others like yourself. Thank you so much. Dominic Ciancibello.

My mother made sausages for as long as I can remember using the manual mincer. After she died I had it and used it up until about 15 yrs ago. Now I use an electric one, not as large as yours but sufficient for my needs. Our sausages, for want of a better description, are British sausages. Which were made of pork with sage as the main flavouring. Now I try other flavours by adding apples or prunes or onions or chives ( lovely with a nice tart apple such as Bramleys mixed in) etc. In South Wales U.K. we had, and still do have, some excellent delis run by Jewish and Italian families so have bought our Italian sausages and salamis from them. So you can imagine the real pleasure I will have trying out this recipe. 😊😊😊
