Title: Veni-Poke Brats
Post by: Sam3 on July 26, 2012, 06:55:17 AM
I found this recipe on another forum, the author call these "attitude Brats". I call them good.

For a 5 lb batch:
5 lbs ground pork or 4lbs ground pork and 1 lb lean beef
1 TBS ground coriander
1.5 tsp good paprika
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 TBS Kosher salt
2 tsp dried rosemary
4 tsp sugar
2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 TBS sage
1.5 TBS dry mustard
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup soy concentrate
1 cup cold water

I went with 8 lbs of Pork and 2 lbs of Venison. I doubled the recipe, but not the cayenne.
Here we go.

Mixed up nice.

Covered and going into the frig to get happy.

And stuffed.

I used 29-32 hog casings for this.

Lunch!  ;D

These were really good even with the reduced cayenne. I like it that way, I prefer the spicy mustard!
Going to try a higher venison ratio the next time, just to see how it comes out.

Thanks for looking...again!  ;D

Nice job on the sausages.  Bit of a departure from traditional bratwurst, but I really like that spice combination.  Copied the recipe and will probably give it a go at some point.
