Kabanosy (by Stan Marianski)
2.0 kg. (4.4 lbs.) lean pork butt or ham
3.0 kg. (6.6 lbs.) pork trimmings
90 g. salt
12 g. Instacure #1 (U.S.stregth)
10 g. sugar
10 g. black pepper
3 g. nutmeg
3 g. caraway
Cut the meat into 5cm (2 inch) cubes, mix with the salt and cure #1, and pack tightly into a container to eliminate air. Do not pack over 20 cm. (8 inches) high. Cover the meat with a clean cloth and place it in a cooler at 4-6° C. (40-42° F) for 72 hours.
Grind the lean pork through an 8 mm. (3/8") plate, and the fatter pork through a 5mm. (3/16") plate. Mix the ingredients to develop the myosin protein - until the mass feels sticky. Stuff the meat into 24-26 mm sheep casings, leaving them in one continuous coil. Hang sausages on a smokestick for 30-60 minutes or hang in a cooler at 2-6° C. (35-43° F.) for 12 hours.
Make sure the sausages feel dry before smoke is applied. Use hot smoke for one hour followed by 20 minutes baking at 170° F. When the meat`s internal temperature reaches 155°, rinse them in ice water and allow them to cool. Dry the sausage 5 - 7 days at 12-18° C (53-64° F.) in 75-80% humidity until the yield is 55%. (Moisture loss of 45% by weight). If mold develops, simply wipe it off.
I agree with the big guy himself... it is the finest meat stick in the world!
Best wishes, Chuckwagon
A couple of notes here. The mixing process is different for kabanosy than for most other sausages. What we are looking to make is a sausage stick that that will snap easily into two and not bend like a bungee cord. Therefore, do not mix to the point of the meat becoming sticky. Mix just enough to distribute the seasonings in the farce. Also add the sugar to the curing mix (salt and Cure #1). This will provide time for the lactic bacteria to work and aid in achieving the final texture.
