Title: My first try at Kielbasa
Post by: cathouse willy on July 06, 2011, 05:56:40 PM
It started out as a Charcuterie recipe done with Mr Walleys method. I liked the idea of a beef sausage, but after all the mixing was done the taste test said TOO SALTY... Now what.,I found the pack of nice thick cut pork chops in the freezer and sacrificed them.ground up to the cause. It was enuff to bring the salt in line.the pork casings I have on hand are not really big enuff for this so now I have a too skinny all beef sausage with pork but... forge on.The end result was good but can improve.Dinner tonight is grilled Kielbasa,pan fried perogy's with onions, bacon,cheese and sour cream on top.

You might look at some of the Post that Mr walleye has made. I know that he makes some serious Kielbasa. I searched around and here is the post that Mike made.




 

Mike's Kielbasa

Meat

10 lbs of ground Pork (80/20)

4 tsp Cayenne
4 tsp Cure #1

- If mixed in blender, leave out Pepper and Marjoram (& Mustard Seed if used) to keep from
 grinding the spices and add in after blending.

Mine started as a "charcuterie" beef recipe and evolved from there (I winged it) I stuck to Mr Walleys method though and it prolly saved the project.It tastes better each time I try it.
