Make your own sausage?

Recommended Posts

I've been looking for sausage that is Whole30 compliant.  I found Purnell's Old Folks Italian Sausage, which lists the following ingredients: Pork, (Including Ham, Lion, and Tenderloin), Water, Salt, Flavorings, Fennel Seed, Extractive of Paprika. 

Yes, the "flavorings" is a question- can I have this?

More importantly, people keep saying "I make my own sausage...." What sausage do you buy to begin "making your own"? So confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You'll have to grind your own.   Start with a pork sirloin roast and add some compliant bacon (because of the leaner cut of pork), seasonings like fennel, basil, garlic, red pepper flakes, black pepper and most folks like sage in their sausage but the seasonings are up to you.  You'll need a grinder. 

 

Only make as much as you need because it's fresh...lasts 3-5 days in the fridge.

The product you linked is fine.

You can make sausage with ground meat... it's not a cured sausage but... more like a breakfast sausage... think those Johnsonville sausage patties.

Ground pork, whatever seasonings you like (google is your friend here and also www.meljoulwan.com) and then make into thin patties (like a skinny burger) and pan fry or bake. voila!

I buy packages of ground pork and just check to make sure the only ingredients are pork and salt (it should look like what you would expect sausage to). When I make sausage patties I just add dried herbs, sage and rosemary especially give it that "breakfast" sausage taste.

I'm in VA, and have actually found a lot of compliant sausage - especially Chorizo and Italian sausage (and even a breakfast sausage). Look for farmers markets and farm stores in your area. Aidells, Applegate and Brat Hans (more widely available) also have compliant favors. Hope that helps.
