Second time making this one. It came out very good but I think next time I'll put a little less black pepper and ginger, and a little more tomatoes. I made some dried tomatoes in the dehydrator then soaked them in olive oil for about a week.

The meat:
4 leg quarters and 4 BS breasts. I ground the skin and fat from the leg quarters with the meat.

The recipe: (in grams)
Image

All ground up with the slurry of seasoning about to go in
Image

Stuffed up
Image

Made myself a patty for my lunch sammich with the leftovers from the tube.

The finished product. It turned out great but a little spicier than I intended. Not bad for me just not the flavor I was looking for.

Hey, hey "eyechart" (fagesbp)! How are you doing? That's pretty terrific looking sausage you've got going there. Are you going to make changes in it? What would you recommend to make it less spicy, as you said. If you put a name on it, I'll post it in the MRI.

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

Fagesbp,
If you are going to make changes to it, halve the ginger only and add some finely chopped chives, mainly for looks. There is a big difference in Parmesan cheese you can buy. 1. ready grated 2. in block. No: 2 is much more pungent.
The recipe and sausages look great, enter it in the next competition!!!!!!!!!!
Good Luck,
Jan.

I am going to lower the ginger and black pepper and increase the tomatoes. I can add some parsley for color, too. I always write my recipes in percentages so I write the ingredients on the board and put the weights as I calculate them based on the green weight of the meat. I used cheap ready grated parmesan cheese for this. If I used fresh premium from a block I'd definitely lower the amount.

The fresh-grated parm is definitely the way to go (as is FRESH basil)! The flavor is more pronounced, and really adds to the overall flavor of the chicken. I used a bit of nutmeg & allspice (in lieu of ginger) which seems to pair well with the basil, the nuttiness of the cheese, & tang of the SD tomatoes...
