Straight from Bruce Aidells book
Ingredients:
3 pounds pork butt
1/2 to 3/4 pound pork back fat
3 tablespoons finely chopped or dried and crumbled fresh sage, or 2 to 3 teaspoons ground sage
3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried summer savory (I left this out)
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup water
Sheep of medium hog casings (optional)
In a large bowl, mix the meat, fat, salt, sage, black pepper, cayenne, summer savory, marjoram, thyme, ginger, and cloves with the cold water. Knead and squeeze the mixture until thoroughly blended.
A little taste test. It was good, but will get better, the seasoning needs more time to meld with the meat and fat.
I formed 3 oz patties and set them between sheets of parchment paper.
Into the freezer!
Until next time, Eat Well & Keep Digging!

This recipe was going so well, and then you just put the patties in the freezer! I was expecting you to cook them. I feel unfulfilled...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will eventually be worth the wait, but...
