SAUSAGES

SAUSAGE MAKING EQUIPMENT

Various different ones on the market, from very cheap ones to quite expensive robust professional ones. The ones below use sausage stuffer attachments that are an optional extra I bought to go with my Mixer, turning the mixer into a sausage machine. The sausage stuffer comes in 2 separate funnels, one thick and one thin for taking thick & thin casings respectively.

MIXER, GRINDER, FOOD TRAY & SAUSAGE ATTACHMENTS

This sausage stuffer requires the mixer and its grinder attachment in order to make sausages, & Food Tray attachment highly recommended.



Collagen Sausage Casings

Left does thin sausages, and right, thick sausage. They go over the thin or thick funnel respectively. The butcher from whom I bought these from said these are natural casings, not synthetic, & sausage making book I read pointed the same. These have the advantage of being stored in the pantry as long as they're dry.

Though I haven't tried them yet, there's also natural hog casings which are quite different to use and store.

Both these types of casings are available online (see Online Stores topic & other websites).

Home made thick Bush Curry Beef Sausages

Placed bush curry spice (more spice info in Burry Curry topic) & grated cheese into the mixture. Unfortunately, I couldn't detect the effect of this spice as easily as in the dishes in Bush Curry topic. I've had similar thing occur to me when I'd made other sausages with other herbs & spices.

When making sausages, some fat component is recommended otherwise the sausages come out dry like these did.

Question: I could ask a local butcher later, but is there a butcher in this forum, or anyone else who can assist, in telling me what are the best cuts of beef to use when making sausages? And if using shop bought beef or kangaroo mince, what fat can be added to this when making sausages?

Well well well my sausages topic isn't very popular is it? Let's "beef" it up a little

I've placed a photo of Bush Tomato kangaroo sausages in my Bush tucker pizza topic...yeah I know....nothing exciting but hey I've been an Aussie living here for 37years & only last week bought & saw commercial kangaroo sausages for the first time in my life.

As I was focussed recently on adding more of my bush curry posts, I came across this from http://www.outbackchef.com.au and thought I'd pop it in while browsing their bush curry products, which they say one of them is good for curry sausages. As curry sausages seem to be popular, at least in my family, I thought why not pass this around, though I haven't tried the product. Read more in the product info.

OUTBACK BUSH CURRY CAN BE USED TO MAKE A GREAT SAUSAGE CURRY. Have a great day!

Bush Curry sausages.....see Bush curry topic. Well guess what I didn't take my own advice from the previous post! I just read Outback Bush curry can be used to make bush curry sausages. I had just received this product in the mail this morning but forgotten about previous suggestion, & used my Bush Laksa paste instead!

Maybe it's good I've posted all this info in the forum just so I can go jog my memory!
