pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: chicken

Turkey provides a leaner option while still maintaining flavor.

pork fat

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: butter

Olive oil adds healthy fats and can reduce saturated fat content.

white wine

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: water

Apple cider vinegar adds acidity without the cost of wine.

Cut the pork shoulder and pork back fat into strips.

Peel the garlic and grate it super fine, then reserve it for later.

Put the spices (fennel seeds, black pepper, allspice, rosemary, maize, and juniper berries) into a spice grinder and blitz them into a super fine powder.

Combine all the spices and grated garlic with the meat and mix it well.

Place the mixture in the freezer for around 1 to 2 hours for grinding.

Using a meat grinder with the coarsest plate, grind the meat mixture.

Add white wine to the ground meat and mix well for a few minutes until it binds nicely into one piece.

Prepare the casings by tying a knot at one end.

Stuff the sausage mixture into the casing, being careful not to overfill it to prevent bursting.

Twist off the links of the sausage step by step.

Poke any air holes with a needle to prevent bursting during cooking.
