Homemade chicken sausages

Sunday, March 15, 2009

I'm still experimenting, but I don't think I can go wrong with these homemade sausages! They are amazing! Here are some ideas and photos from my first three attempts.

Our favorite so far:

• 5 bonesless thighs
• 3 handfuls spinach
• 2 garlic cloves
• parsley
• tyhme

Next best:

• 5 boneless thighs
• lemon rind from 1 lemon
• bunch of thyme
• 1 leek chopped
• handful of spinach
• 2 garlic cloves

Okay but too many mushrooms in the batch I made:

• 5 boneless chicken thighs chopped
• 2 bunches cilantro
• 2 garlic cloves
• 5 small portabellow mushrooms

how to
For all of them, I used pork intestine casings (living in the UK it's easier for me to buy pork intestine casings than a can of coke... butchers are everywhere and my closest is a three minute walk from my house... can of coke is about 3.5 minute walk!). I cut everything up first and mix it together in a bowl in the fridge. Then run it through the hand mixer to grind it. Then place the casing on and pump it all into there to make the sausages. So far I've only tried grilling them, but should be fine boiled or baked. YUM!!!!
