Directions

  1. Peel the onion. ≈ 8 min
  2. Boil the meat, onions, and broth in 1 liter of water for 10 minutes.
  3. Finely chop the onion, liver, and meat using a food processor. ≈ 8 min
  4. Cut the bacon into thin strips and the lard into small dice. ≈ 8 min
  5. Combine the meat and liver mixture, then add the flour and spices. ≈ 4 min
  6. Cut three pieces of pork hock, each preferably less than 65 cm long, then rinse them again under running water to open them up. ≈ 8 min
  7. Seal each end of the intestines. ≈ 3 min
  8. Wrap the intestine up to the knot in a sausage casing. ≈ 3 min
  9. Now, fill the intestines with the sausage mixture, but don’t completely fill them. ≈ 3 min
  10. The tube should slide through the soda siphon without trapping any air bubbles. ≈ 3 min
  11. The faster the intestinal tube empties, the thinner the sausage becomes. ≈ 3 min
  12. This is particularly important during preparation, especially thanks to the use of automated kitchen equipment. ≈ 3 min
  13. When using a separate sausage filling container, the filling process takes a little longer. ≈ 3 min
  14. Once the intestine is full, also close the other end. ≈ 3 min
  15. Now, the sausage can be cut into shorter or longer portions by regularly rotating the skin. ≈ 3 min
  16. Heat some water in a large pot.
  17. Add a few spoonfuls of salt to prevent the sausages from bursting. ≈ 3 min
  18. Gently place the sausages in the pan and let them cook for one hour.
  19. Next, gently remove them from the water and cool them in cold water.
  20. Store in the refrigerator.
