Title: Longaniza Cubano Caliente
Post by: Tenpoint5 on March 25, 2014, 07:23:56 AM
This is a Len Poli Recipe from his site.

Starts off with some of these

Cut into thirds and remove the seeds

Grind peppers through with the meat for a rough grind. Add crushed pineapple and spices

Grind again through a small plate

Add in wet ingredients and mix (Looks like wet oatmeal has same consistency too!)

Placed in the Fridge for flavors to meld for 12 hours then stuff.

Fry up the left overs for a snack/taster

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/20140324_102008_zpskeqj7ve5.jpg)

Hang in the smoker to dry for an hour. Make sure you tie off the ends or meat WILL slide out due to the consistency of it!!

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/20140324_121647_zps2apvxrv7.jpg)

Apply 2 hours of smoke

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/20140324_150024_zps5hctrhbg.jpg)

Continue to ramp up the temps to 170 degrees and hold until sausage is 152 degrees. Cool in an ice bath then hang to bloom.

After blooming refrigerate overnight. Product is fully cooked and just needs to be reheated.

doesn't taste like pineapple at all you just get a sweet heat from the sausage. You should give this one a try it tastes great.

Looks great, Chris!  How hot is it?  I know it's a different heat, but is it as hot as your Kimchi?  I've tried that and if it is, I may have to reduce the peppers a bit for SWMBO.

Not so much! This doesn't have the in your face heat like the kimchi. More of a subtle heat that builds. It does go away quickly

if the habanero peppers are too hot it would be real easy to substitute jalapeno or some other Chile

The ingredients in this one are fantastic, I want to do it!  I'm afraid I can't go along with the gummy bear thing, but this one is getting bookmarked, nice!

You know the Gummy Bear Brat recipe is just one of those recipes, that is just crazy enough that you have to try it once!
