How to make homemade pork kabanos — a simple recipe
Preparation:
Grind the fatty meat using a fine 2 mm plate. Grind the remaining meat using an 8 mm or 10 mm plate. Add water, saltpetre, and spices to the ground meat (instead of the above, you can use a ready-made herb and spice blend for kabanos).
Mix thoroughly until you get a uniform, well-bound meat mixture. Transfer the prepared meat to a bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
The next day — 3 hours before stuffing — prepare the sheep casings by soaking them in lukewarm water up to 30°C. Once well soaked, fill them with the meat and leave for a few hours to air-dry.
Smoke the kabanos sausages at 45–55°C for about 3 hours, then raise the smoker temperature to about 80°C (preferably without smoke) for about 30 minutes.
Another option is to remove the kabanos sausages from the smoker and bake them in the oven for 30–40 minutes at 90°C.
Note! Before finishing, break a kabanos to check that it is not still raw inside. If the result meets your expectations, leave all the sausages to cool and enjoy their taste.
