Nick's Italian Sausage

[Nick Prochilo]

A recipe I'm working on. So far so good

5 lbs. pork butt
3 TBS kosher salt
2 TBS sugar
2 tsp minced garlic
2 TBS fennel seed
2 tsp black pepper
2 TBS sweet paprika
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 TBS crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp all spice
1 tsp. dried oregano

Mix all ingredients and stuff into casings.

I'm not a fan of hot but thats easy enough to change!

Funny you say that. I made some last year that would blow your head off. Guy's were bitching that one rope I made wasn't hot enough, I fixed them with hab powder. I thought it was some of the best sausage I have ever made. I like your recipe and will try it out. Thanks.

I'm always on the look out for a great Italian sausage recipe... I'll give this one a try.

Just one questions, does the taste of the fennel really come through? I'm not much of a fennel fan...

It did come through in a pleasant way. Cut back on it or eliminate it if it bothers you.
