Greek Sausage

SiFumar · February 01, 2011, 04:23:25 PM

It's also known as "Orange Sausage" I usually make meatballs out of it. It is a fresh sausage.

1 clove garlic
grated peel from half orange
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp allspice
1/2 c white wine

Mix in blender

Add to 2 lbs coarse ground beef and 1 lb coarse ground pork. Mix well.

I usually allow flavors to blend in refrigerator. Can put in casings...but I usually just make meatballs use and freeze.

These were my sons favorites.

Next batch I make I'll take pics.

Thanks for the recipe. This does look good, and versatile. Pics are OK, but a recipe is much better. I'm going to make a batch this weekend.

Hi, there's a similar recipe for Loukaniko on Len Poli's site. Been putting off making it but now I think I'll give it a shot. Does sound good.

SiFumar;

This is a great recipe. I made it over the weekend. When I was mixing the ingredients, the aroma was great. I was tempted to add curry powder, but restrained myself. Though I will be adding it the next time. The only change I made was to add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

I separated the sausage into about 1 pound batches. One pound I left as fresh sausage, one pound was made into sweet & sour cocktail meatballs, and the final pound was made into "plain" cocktail meatballs that were served with Tzatziki sauce for dipping.

Glad to hear you liked it. I bet curry would be a different twist to it. Let me know how it tastes when try it.
