When I was little, on significant holidays my grandmother’s wood stove in the village would be lit and homemade pork sausage would be prepared. Pigs were always raised in households, and sausage was very often tasty and aromatic. Excellent homemade charcuterie.
At one time, the hardest part about making homemade sausage was finding the casing. However, now it is sold canned or frozen in large supermarkets. In addition, you can negotiate with traders at the local bazaar; they will be happy to bring you what you need for your money.
We were going to make sausage according to grandma’s recipe. There was a time when status was measured by the presence of sausage on the table. But, as it turned out, happiness is not in the sausage, but in its quality. And homemade sausage is quality! Natural casing, natural pork meat and spices and inspiration, it is also natural.
In Bulgarian villages, they prepare a very tasty branded home-made sausage - “nadenitsa”, a hand-cooked fried sausage in which the minced meat is mixed with traditional Bulgarian seasonings - fenugreek.
A similar Georgian sausage is kupaty, made from small intestines stuffed with minced pork and beef, with the addition of finely chopped onion, garlic, pomegranate seeds, salt, pepper and suneli hops. Kupats are grilled over coals in a whole shell. Homemade sausage is prepared wherever pigs, cows, sheep and even chickens are raised. If there is meat on the farm, then the owners prepare sausage, and if there is poultry, it turns out delicious. By and large, a simple technology - a shell of cleaned intestines, minced meat with spices and heat treatment.
Homemade sausage you've been looking for!
Ingredients (3 kg sausage)
- Pork (neck, shoulder, back) 2-2.5 kg
- Back fat 500-700 g
- Garlic 1 head
- Pork small intestines 5 m
- Cognac or brandy optional
- Salt, ground black pepper, dried herbs (basil, thyme, oregano), ground coriander taste
- You need to understand that homemade sausage is a very satisfying and tasty dish. Sausage is perfectly stored, especially if the finished sausage prepared at home is placed in a ceramic pot and filled with melted lard.
- In any case, the sausage for the holiday should be prepared the day before, and the final heat treatment should be performed immediately before the feast. Then the sausage will be the most delicious. Although, I have not yet seen a person who refuses a sandwich with cold or warm sausage.
Spices for sausage: salt, oregano, thyme, pepper, basil, coriander
- Pork small intestines, regardless of where you bought them, must be defrosted in air and rinsed very thoroughly. Turn the intestines inside out and rinse again. It would not be superfluous to scrape out the intestines with the back of a knife and remove the mucus from the intestines.
Pork small intestines - natural casing
- Pork meat can be used from any part of the carcass. Considering that sausage is made with the addition of lard, the fat content of the meat does not matter. The neck, shoulder blade, back part are perfect. Thoroughly clean the meat from bones and cartilage; getting them into the product is unacceptable.
Pork meat can be used from any part of the carcass: neck, shoulder, back
- Homemade sausage, in principle, can be prepared from minced meat minced in a meat grinder. But grandma always cut meat and lard with a knife. The size of the cut is like a medium-sized cherry. This, of course, is a somewhat labor-intensive process, but in this case the sausage turns out especially tasty.
Lard, preferably not salted or frozen
- Remove the skin from the back fat, preferably not salted or frozen. Cut a piece of lard weighing about 100 g and set it aside for now. Cut the remaining lard into pieces twice as small as the meat. The ratio of meat to lard should be approximately 1:6 - this is very approximate. It is worth considering that if you use pork with a lot of fat, you should reduce the amount of added fat.
Cut meat and lard
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped meat and lard. Salt and pepper - maybe even a little more than it costs. Add dry aromatic herbs: basil, oregano and definitely thyme. Add ground coriander to taste. Mix the meat very thoroughly so that all the spices are evenly distributed. Oh, by the way, I don't add bay leaf.
In a large bowl, combine chopped meat and lard
- Peel the head of garlic and chop the cloves very finely with a knife, as finely as possible. You can use a kitchen utensil for chopping garlic or a grater, but in this case there will be a lot of garlic juice, I don’t like that. Add chopped garlic to the minced meat and stir. Next, I add a little good cognac to the minced meat - 2-5 tbsp. l. This is optional. Try it, but don’t add surrogate or bad-smelling alcohol, this will affect the aroma of homemade sausage and taste. If you are not sure, it is better to skip this point. At the very end, you need to mix the minced meat very thoroughly.
Add spices and garlic to the meat
- Next comes the most important process - the sausage is stuffed. The prepared shell will be filled with minced meat.
Minced meat ready for filling
- If your home screw meat grinder has a special attachment for filling - in the form of a plastic tube, the process is greatly simplified. Everything is simple there. The cross-shaped knife and grid are removed from the meat grinder, and the nozzle is inserted in their place. The intestine-shell is pulled over the nozzle, and the tip of the intestine is tied into a knot or tied with cotton thread. It is important that the thread must be free of synthetic fibers; they will burn instantly when frying.
- The minced meat is put into a meat grinder, as when cooking. The casing is filled automatically and is pulled off the nozzle as it is filled.
The shell on a special nozzle is ready for filling
- Attention: do not fill very tightly. When squeezed, the shell should press lightly. If the shell is filled tightly, it is guaranteed to burst when boiled or fried.
Stuff the shell with minced meat
- We must ensure that there are no holes in the shell. If you find a hole, be sure to cut the shell in this place and tie it with thread. The result is not a single long sausage, but two or more sausages that can be tied together in a chain.
Stuffed sausage with ends tied
- This completes the preliminary stage of preparing the dish. Homemade sausage is filled with minced meat and needs to be refrigerated overnight. The minced meat should mature for at least 4-5 hours.
Tie the sausage with string and put it in the refrigerator
- Immediately before starting cooking, it is necessary to carefully inspect the shell again, identify and bandage tears and noticeable holes. After this, you should roll the sausages into spirals (rings) and tie them with cotton thread. This makes it easier to cook and fry sausage.
- Next is an important point: the sausage casing must be pierced in many places. This is convenient to do with a toothpick or a large needle. Prick the shell on both sides at intervals of 4-5 cm. If voids filled with air are visible under the shell, they must be pierced. Remember from Hasek - Baloun could not get rid of that unforgettable bright picture of how he pierces the “tlachenka” so that the air comes out of it: otherwise it will burst during cooking.
The sausage casing must be pierced in many places.
- Pour 15 cm of water into a large enough saucepan, frying pan or cauldron. Place a ring of sausage in the pan so that it is immersed in water and bring the water to a boil. Cook from the start of boiling water - 4-5 minutes. If everything is done correctly, the sausage will not burst.
Cook the sausage from the start of boiling water - 4-5 minutes
- One by one, cook all the sausages that were prepared the day before. After cooking, remove the sausages from the boiling water, place them on plates and let cool.

Homemade sausage is a favorite dish for many. Only a vegetarian can refuse such a tasty treat. Moreover, if you prepare this product with your own hands, you will know for sure that even a child can be treated to such a sandwich. Such a hearty and tasty dish will definitely please your man, and it will be so nice to enjoy something tasty yourself. And if you serve sausage at the holiday table, then the title of “wonderful hostess” is guaranteed to you.
The Internet is simply overflowing with various recipes for homemade sausage, and the sight of colorful photos whets your appetite. So let's figure out how to make homemade sausage.
Regardless of what kind of homemade sausage you are going to make, the cooking process consists of several general, mandatory steps, namely, preparing the minced meat, forming and heat treating the sausage.
Meat selection
The classic version is homemade pork sausage in the intestines. It is extremely important to choose the right meat for minced meat, since the quality of the taste of the finished dish largely depends on this.
The most suitable for sausage is pork neck. It is not very fatty, but it does have internal fat, which will become a tasty and aromatic juice in the finished sausage. If you want the sausage to be fattier, then you will need to add lard to the minced meat.
If you cannot purchase pork neck, you can use meat from any part of the carcass, the main principle is that it is not tough and too greasy. The ratio of meat and lard should be 4:1. In this case, the neck, back or scapula are good.
Those who for some reason do not like or do not eat pork can prepare sausage from beef, lamb or poultry. No less interesting would be the option using several types of meat. When choosing lamb, you should pay attention to the veins, they should be soft, then the meat itself will also be soft. But when choosing beef, you need to look at its color; the lighter the meat, the younger the animal was, which means the sausage will be softer and juicier.
It is best to buy meat at the market, from a supplier you trust. When choosing pork, try, if possible, to taste the lard from the same carcass. If it is aromatic and tasty, then the meat will be the same.
Grinding
Before moving on to chopping, it is important to thoroughly clean the meat from bones, skins, cartilage and chaff, since their presence in the finished dish is completely unacceptable. The meat for homemade sausage is cut by hand into cubes measuring 1x1 centimeter. You can pass the minced meat through a meat grinder, but then homemade sausage will not be as tasty and juicy. Therefore, it is better not to be lazy and cut it. The process is certainly labor-intensive, but the sausage will turn out especially tasty.
Of course, if you are preparing homemade dumplings or salami, then the meat should be passed through a meat grinder.
Kneading
The chopped minced meat must be thoroughly kneaded by hand. This will not only help distribute the spices and salt well, but also achieve the correct structure. The fact is that with prolonged kneading, excess air will escape and the filling will become denser.
If you can see that the consistency is too thick, you can add a little cream; if the minced meat is already too fatty, then use water instead of cream. Liquid minced meat, on the contrary, is thickened by adding starch, flour or mustard powder.
After the minced meat is mixed with spices, salt and additives and brought to the correct consistency, it must be put in the refrigerator for several hours so that it combines better and becomes homogeneous.
Adding spices
Most often added to homemade sausage:
- ground black or allspice;
- garlic;
- rosemary;
- nutmeg;
- ground bay leaf;
- caraway;
- anise.
The sausage will be more piquant if you add:
- Provencal herbs;
- ground red pepper;
- Cayenne pepper;
- paprika.
It is better to use freshly ground spices; they will give the meat more flavor; in addition, you can warm them up before adding them to the minced meat so that the flavor is revealed better. A small addition of alcohol to the minced meat, for example, good cognac, will highlight the aroma of herbs and spices.
You can form the sausage either with or without a casing. In the case of the shell, it must first be prepared. If you use natural intestines, then rinse them and soak them for a couple of hours in warm water, after which you need to rinse them again with warm water and you can scrape them a little with the back of a knife.
You can use an artificial casing, such as cellulose, protein, collagen or polyamide. They should also be pre-soaked in warm, salted water, but for a maximum of three minutes, and then simply washed under the tap.
The easiest way to fill a natural or artificial casing with minced meat is to use a special attachment on a meat grinder. To do this you need:
- attach one end of the shell to the cone attachment;
- serve the minced meat to expel the air;
- tie a knot at the other end of the shell.
When filling sausages, it is necessary to maintain medium density. A sausage that is packed too tightly may burst, and a sausage that is not packed enough will create voids.
If there is no special attachment for a meat grinder, you can use a cut-off plastic bottle, pushing the minced meat into the casing through the neck.
The sausage can be made large, or it can be divided into small sausages by twisting the intestine. After the intestine is filled, it would be a good idea to prick it with a needle so that the voids disappear, steam comes out, and the sausage does not burst.
If there is no casing, then you can form homemade sausage using parchment, cling film, foil, wrapping minced meat in them like candy.
Heat treatment
Homemade sausage can be boiled, fried, baked, stewed, or a combination of heat treatment methods. In any case, the main thing is maintaining the correct temperature. In order for the sausage to be juicy and aromatic, at the same time cooked and not burst, it is necessary to cook it at a temperature of no more than eighty degrees.
If you decide to cook the sausage in a frying pan, then fry it over medium heat on one side until a golden crust forms, and then over higher heat on the other side until the same result is obtained. You can add your favorite herbs or spices to the pan, which will give the dish a special piquancy.
You can bake the sausage in the oven either simply on a sheet or by wrapping it in foil. If you bake without foil, you need to periodically baste the sausage with fat to prevent it from drying out. In the case of foil, a few minutes before the end of cooking, it should be opened so that the sausage can brown.
Cook the sausage in low boiling water, covered, for twenty minutes. Usually sausage is boiled before frying or stewing.

Of all the meat snacks for beer, homemade sausages are perhaps one of the most interesting and popular among beer party connoisseurs. Steaks, kebabs, burgers and other culinary antics cannot compete with a dish whose history goes back several centuries. Don't believe me? Ask any German who has been enjoying his next Oktoberfest from dawn to dusk.
Meat sausages fried on a grill or frying pan are one of the most delicious snacks to accompany beer, as evidenced by the menu of the world's largest beer festival - Oktoberfest. This time we will understand the general intricacies of preparing sausages at home, and also consider the simplest and fastest recipe for homemade sausages in a meat grinder.
Of course, each cook has his own recipes, subtleties and tricks: some like dishes made from minced meat, some like well-ground meat, some add a lot of spices, while others make do with salt and black pepper. Therefore, to begin with, we will simply look at the general principles that will help you prepare juicy, satisfying and tasty sausages at home.
Meat selection
Almost any meat is suitable for homemade sausages: chicken, pork, beef, lamb, duck, turkey, etc. Either one type of meat can be used, or several types can be mixed in different proportions, depending on taste preferences. Thus, fatty pork is often mixed with beef, and poultry is most often used in its pure form or with the addition of lard for greater juiciness.
When choosing pork, you need to pay attention to lard: if it is tasty, aromatic and has a thin skin, then the meat from this animal will also be of good quality. When choosing lamb, you should look at the veins: if they are soft, then the meat will be quite tender.
If dry meat with a minimum of fat was chosen for the sausages, then you can add cream or ground lard to make them more juicy.
Cooling
Before starting cooking, it is advisable to cool the meat cut into small pieces and grind it a little in the freezer, which will ensure better grinding and will also help preserve the taste of the meat. The meat grinder can be placed in the freezer an hour before cooking, or in advance, overnight. The meat must not be overfrozen: it should freeze around the edges, but the center will remain soft.
Grinding
As soon as you have taken everything you need out of the freezer, you should start immediately, and you need to grind it as quickly as possible, while loading the meat in small portions. During grinding, there is no need to force the pieces into the neck, as this may disrupt the consistency of the future minced meat. The ideal fill level is ¼ of the neck volume.
Kneading
After grinding you should get minced meat with a visible texture. Spices and other additives are added to the finished mass, if they are provided for in the recipe, after which the minced meat must be kneaded with your hands so that it becomes denser and excess air is removed from it. You can check the taste of the resulting minced meat by frying a small amount in a frying pan. You should fry until cooked, but do not wait until the crust is golden brown, as it will slightly “eclipse” the main taste of the product. After the “test”, you can add the missing ingredients to the minced meat and knead it again.
Shell
Today it is not difficult to buy casings for homemade sausages in the store; they can be natural or artificial. Natural are specially processed pork, beef or lamb intestines. They can vary in diameter, length, and section of the animal’s intestine. When choosing intestines, you should pay attention to their characteristics: there should be no nodules, large holes, greasy odor, the color should be light, without gray shades. Beef casings are stronger than pork casings, so they may be easier to work with if you're making sausage for the first time. But lamb is more suitable for boiled sausages and ham. However, the choice is yours.
Before use, the intestines should be rinsed with warm water and soaked in water at 20-25 o C for an average of 2 hours (freshly canned ones can be soaked for only 5-10 minutes). Next, they are washed in water (30-35 o C). Next, the intestines are disassembled into pieces and their quality is checked by passing water through them. If there are holes in the womb, then it is in these places that the intestine should be cut into separate parts.
Artificial casings also come in various types, including cellulose, polyamide, and protein. Collagen casings, which are made from protein raw materials and are edible, are well suited for homemade sausages. To prepare, the collagen “gut” should be soaked in water (with the addition of 1 teaspoon of salt per 1 liter of water) at 35-40 o C for 2-3 minutes, then rinsed with running water.
Filling the casing, forming the sausages
When the minced meat and casing are prepared, you can begin the process of forming homemade sausages. A simple way is to change the attachment on the meat grinder to a special cone and put the intestine on it. You need to tie a knot only after you start serving the minced meat, otherwise an air bubble will form. As for density, a golden mean should be maintained: a very densely stuffed sausage can burst at high temperatures, and if the density is insufficient, voids will form. You can find the optimal degree of density experimentally 😉
Tip: If you doubt the density of the stuffing or could not avoid the appearance of air bubbles, it is better to prick the sausages with a thin needle or toothpick so that steam escapes during cooking.
The second option is in case you do not have such a special attachment or even a meat grinder. A cut off top from a plastic bottle will help. It can be secured in a meat grinder or used as a hand tool, pushing the minced meat through the neck and adjusting the density of the stuffing.
Tip: If you want to make one large sausage, you can immediately lay it in a spiral; if it is small, then you should leave enough space between portions of minced meat so that it is convenient to tie or twist the intestine. You can tie it with cotton twine.
Heat treatment
At home, sausages can be fried, boiled, baked, or a combination of these processing methods. With any method, a certain temperature regime must be observed: to keep them juicy, they should be cooked at a temperature of no more than 80 o C.
In a frying pan, fry over medium heat, first on one side, then, slightly increasing the heat, on the other side. The indicator of readiness is the clear juice released when the sausage is pierced. While frying, you can try putting a sprig of rosemary in the pan and periodically removing it from the fat and rubbing it over the sausages (this will give the dish a subtle rosemary aroma).
You can cook sausages in the oven either on an open baking sheet or in foil. In the first case, you should periodically baste them with fat or oil so that they are not dry, in the second case, unfold the foil towards the end of cooking so that a golden brown crust appears.
Tip: Instead of vegetable oil, you can use beef fat for frying and baking sausages; it will make the dish more juicy and tasty.
You can cook sausages in different ways, for example, put them in slowly boiling water, turn off the heat and leave covered for 20 minutes. Boiling is often used before stewing or frying in a pan.

Recipe for making homemade sausages without intestines
If you don’t have a natural or artificial casing on hand, you can prepare homemade sausages in cling film, foil, parchment, etc. For example, let's take a recipe with minced meat from a mixture of chicken fillet and pork with the addition of eggs, baked in foil. You can use other combinations of meats and their proportions, and add spices and other ingredients at your discretion.
Ingredients:
- Pork (tenderloin) – 1 kg
- Chicken fillet – 0.7 kg
- Pork lard – 0.2 kg
- Eggs – 3-4 pieces
- Starch - 4 tbsp. spoons
- Garlic – a few cloves
- Salt, pepper, spices
Preparation:
1. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add spices, chopped garlic (pass it through a garlic press or finely chop it), salt. Then we begin to gradually add starch, stirring constantly and avoiding the formation of lumps.
2. Make minced meat from chicken fillet, pork and lard. If you want a more delicate grind, then use a nozzle with small holes. You can also make “chopped” sausages, for which you just need to cut the meat and lard into very small cubes. Place the minced meat or chopped ingredients in a bowl with eggs, mix well until a homogeneous mass is formed.
3. Take the foil, cut it into equal pieces of approximately 20x30 cm. Spread the minced meat with a spoon on the shiny, mirror side of the foil and form sausages of the desired shape and size, after which we begin to wrap it like candy. We twist the edges tightly so that there is no air gap between the minced meat and the foil. It is advisable to twist it tighter than shown in the photo.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 o C, place a baking sheet with sausages there and set aside for 1 hour. Homemade sausages without intestines can be served hot or cold, with a side dish and simply aromatic bread.
Step 1: prepare the meat.
To prepare sausage at home, you need to use several types of meat at the same time. Rinse the pork tenderloin and chicken fillet under running water and place on a cutting board. Using a kitchen knife, carefully clean the meat ingredient from veins and excess fat.![](https://i2.wp.com/tvcook.ru/uploads/images/00/11/14/2013/03/05/79559c.jpg)

To prepare homemade sausage, you can use ready-made minced meat.
In addition to the spices listed above, you can also use others to suit your taste. As well as spices and herbs used for preparing meat dishes.
You can grind the meat using a blender or a kitchen knife. In this case, the meat needs to be chopped as finely as possible.
You can cook homemade sausages using thick cling film or in a baking bag.
To prepare homemade sausage, use only high-quality and fresh meat. Pork should not be chapped or dark in color. Do not prepare homemade sausage from frozen meat ingredients.
There is no need to spread the minced meat on the foil in a thick layer, as it may not bake well and be raw inside. Also, the layer of minced sausage should be the same thickness along the entire length of the foil so that the sausage is baked evenly on all sides.
