That looks really tasty. Might be another one I wouldn't mind trying. Chicken and feta first.
Is there a noticable turkey flavour to this or just a hint?

picanha

This weekend consisted of making Picanha, a Brazilian / Argentinian dish, depending on who you talk to. The meat is a "sirlion cap" or "rump cap" or "tri-cap" depending on the butcher. https://images91.fotosik.pl/3/5ea4da9b4c3ab94fm.jpg Next to the tenderloin, this is the second most tender piece. I...

That looks really tasty! I've made salceson with tongues and hocks only but not with the actual head. There is a butcher shop that sells heads, however I've never worked with one, for the simple reason, that i have no clue. What do I need to do to prepare a head? remove the eyeballs, brain, clean ou...

Rinsed off, stuffed into beef bung, netted allowed dry at room temp for 3 hours, smoked with cherry and alder for 4 hours at 57-60C (135-140F). Finished by poaching in 70C (167F) water until IT of 64C (148F). Would there be an issue or a flavour difference if the meat was cold smoked for 5-6 hrs, i...

water beads on sausage

In the spirit of perfecting the art, I have noticed on several occassions that there were beads of moisture forming on the sausage after they've been in the smoker for a short period of time. I've observed and tried several methods to eliminate that but haven't really come to any conclusion. I've tr...

So if I understand this correctly, the higher the salt content the longer it takes to cure?

I bought a 20lb stuffer from cabelas 18yrs ago and I pumped close to 200lbs a year of sausage and now last few years over 1000lbs a year. Absolutely no problems. Price is quite decent.

Any reference to "bratwurst" is quite overarching, covering so many different types of sausage. Any fresh sausage can essentially now be called bratwurst. If you want to make something close to an original, don't look at recipes for Johnsonville brats, but for specific regional German wursts. My ne...

Forgot to ask.
Has anyone put slaceson into vacuum packs to store for a longer time? Or is this a product that needs to consumed in a short period of time? Reason for asking is, considering the amount of messing around with this, to make a larger batch and storing it in vac packs.

I've pretty much have done everything that you have done, except for putting the flavourings and salt at the end, as well as the poaching. My Mom, who initially requested this dish, mentioned that back in the motherland, they also poached the final product, but she couldn't remember why. Now that yo...
