Homemade liver sausage - general principles of preparation

You can use any liver for sausage. Thanks to the addition of spices and fats, the product turns out juicy and tender. Before cooking, the liver must be washed, the films removed, then cut into pieces and chopped. For fat content, lard is often added, which can also be twisted or simply finely chopped. For juiciness, add onions, and other vegetables can be added.

To thicken the mass, eggs, semolina, flour, and starch are added to the liver. And to make the taste more delicate, you can pour in a little milk or cream. There are no restrictions on the type and quantity of spices. Add to your taste. Liver goes well with various types of peppers, garlic, paprika, marjoram, and turmeric.

What is stuffed with minced meat:

Natural guts;

Artificial shells.

You can simply start stuffing with a small spoon, but it is much more convenient to use a special attachment in the form of a spout for a meat grinder.

Increasingly, housewives are showing ingenuity and using improvised materials to prepare sausages: bags, a baking sleeve, foil and even silicone molds. Stuffed products are boiled in water, baked or fried. Sometimes several cooking methods are used simultaneously. For example, sausages are boiled and then fried in a pan or on the grill.

Today we will tell you how to prepare delicious homemade sausage with your own hands? Believe me, it is not only possible, but also not difficult. There would be a desire! Our recipe will successfully teach you how to do this. We will prepare liver sausage with lard and garlic. For lovers of liver dishes, this is a real gift!

Homemade liver sausage is not only incorrect, it cannot be compared with store-bought sausage. Just forget the taste and appearance of that sausage and enjoy homemade one. From a small piece of half a kilo of liver we will get a large ring of delicious and aromatic sausage. Instead of soy and chemical thickeners, we will use the usual semolina and chicken eggs. Instead of flavorings - onions, garlic and spices. And the casing for our sausage will be made of natural intestines, which are sold in grocery supermarkets in special packaging. Let's start cooking!

Ingredients:

Liver (beef or pork) – 500 grams

Chicken eggs – 2-3 pieces

Semolina – 3-4 tbsp. spoons

Onion – 1 head

Whole milk – 100 ml

Pork lard – 100 grams

I want something tasty and homemade and without any additives, dyes, stabilizers, emulsifiers. I would like to advise you to make homemade liver sausage. It is easy and simple to make and is cheaper than buying it in a store. So let's begin.

You can take any liver. Chicken and turkey sausages are more tender. Sort the chicken liver and remove bile, if any. Wash and cut into small pieces. Cut fresh lard into small pieces. Peel the onion, chop finely and fry in oil. Place the chopped liver and lard and fried onions in a deep bowl.

Beat in the eggs. Add spices.

Add flour and semolina.

Peel the garlic and pass through a press.

Knead well and add milk. Knead again. Let the prepared sausage mince sit for about an hour. During this time, semolina and flour will swell and become saturated with liver juices and spices.

In the meantime, prepare the womb. I have it salted with dry salting and already cleaned, so I cut off about 3 - 3.5 meters and fill it with warm water. Then I rinse the inside of the womb with a stream from the tap.

Mix the prepared minced meat. It is convenient to fill the womb through a large funnel with a wide and long “spout”. We cut the casing into several parts, i.e. to the desired sausage length. We put the intestine on the “spout” of the funnel; it is swollen and puts on very easily.

We tie the end of the intestine with a knot or thick threads. Place some of the minced sausage into the funnel container and push it through using a stick (pencil). In this way we fill the entire intestine. You can’t stuff it tightly - the shell shrinks during heat treatment, and the semolina and flour swell.

Place the resulting semi-finished sausages in a double boiler. As soon as the water boils and we see that the casing has turned slightly white, you need to pierce the sausages in several places with a needle or thin awl. This is done in order to release excess air from the sausage.

Cook the sausage for 1 hour.

Delicious, with garlic, tender. Delicious hot or cold!

The liver sausage is ready. Bon appetit!

Homemade liver sausage: preparation video

To make homemade liver sausage spicier and more aromatic, you can add 2-3 chopped garlic cloves, ground nutmeg, allspice, coriander or marjoram to the minced meat.

Preparation of minced liver

Rinse the liver with cold water and dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Remove films, vessels and bile ducts. Cut into large cubes.

Peel the onion and chop finely. Fry until golden brown in a small amount of vegetable oil.

Trim the pork fat from the skin. Cut into small cubes. If you do not want the lard to be visible in the finished sausage, then pass it through a meat grinder along with the liver.

Scroll the liver through a meat grinder, mix with chopped lard and fried onions. Beat eggs into the mixture and add semolina. Salt, pepper and mix thoroughly.

The recipe for homemade liver sausage can be varied: for example, replace semolina with short grain rice at the rate of 100 g per 1 kg of liver. Before adding the rice to the minced meat, rinse and soak in warm salted water for 20 minutes.

Forming and heat treatment of liver sausage

Pre-soak thin pork intestines in cold water. Tie at one end and fill with minced liver using a special sausage casing attachment for a meat grinder, a pastry syringe or an ordinary plastic bottle with the bottom cut off. Do not stuff the shell too tightly, as the semolina swells during heat treatment. Tie the intestines every 15–20 cm to make small sausages.

Using a toothpick, make several punctures in the casing of each sausage. Boil water in a large saucepan, add sausages and cook for 25-30 minutes. Then fry on both sides in a mixture of butter and vegetable oils until golden brown.

If you don’t have pork intestines, you can prepare liver sausage at home in cling film or plastic bags. Place the minced meat in a bag and remove the air from it. Compact the mass tightly, form it into a roll and tie it on both sides with thread.
