Cinnamon provides warmth but with a different flavor profile.

Soak the casings in water for at least 30 minutes.

Chop the veal and pork back fat into small pieces.

Finely chop the onion and parsley.

Mix the veal, pork back fat, onion, parsley, lemon zest, salt, white pepper, cardamom, and ginger in a large bowl.

Gradually add ice water to the meat mixture, stirring until well combined and smooth.

Stuff the mixture into the soaked casings, being careful to avoid air pockets.

Twist the sausages into links of desired length and tie off the ends.

Bring a large pot of water to a simmer (not boiling).

Gently place the sausages in the simmering water and cook for about 20-25 minutes until firm.

Remove the sausages from the water and let them cool slightly before serving.
