Ingredients
2 Boston pork butts, skinned, boned, & cut into small chunks (including fat), weighing 6 pounds after trimming
1 1/2 Tablespoons salt
2 Teaspoons black pepper
1/2 Teaspoon crushed red pepper
5 Tablespoons minced broadleaf parsley
1/2 Cup grated Asiago cheese
4 Tablespoons crushed fennel seeds
3 Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Crisp fennel seeds in a pan in a preheated 325�F oven for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine pork, salt, pepper, red pepper, parsley, Asiago cheese, fennel seeds, and garlic.
Thoroughly blend with your hands. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for flavors to meld.
Put seasoned pork chunks through medium plate of a food chopper. Place in a large bowl and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute seasonings. Fry a sample patty in melted butter to test for proper seasoning.
All sausages can be prepared as patties (the easiest and many think the most flavorful method of preparation), or run through a sausage-stuffer into hog casings, then frozen.
Yield: about 6 pounds
