Tips
Here are some tips for making homemade sausages in the Brazilian, Breakfast & Brunch, and Burgers styles:
1. Choose the right cuts of meat: For authentic Brazilian sausage, opt for lean cuts like pork shoulder or beef chuck. For breakfast and brunch sausages, a mixture of ground pork and beef works well. For burgers, consider a combination of ground beef and pork.
2. Flavourings and spices: Brazilian sausages often include garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and parsley. For breakfast and brunch sausages, try adding sage, thyme, or nutmeg. For burgers, experiment with Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and mustard.
3. Grinding and mixing: If possible, grind the meat yourself using a meat grinder. This ensures better texture and control over fat content. Mix the ground meat with your chosen seasonings thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
4. Casing options: For Brazilian sausage, traditional hog casings are commonly used. For breakfast and brunch sausages, sheep casings provide a thinner casing. Burgers can be made without casings, as they are typically formed into patties.
5. Cooking methods: Brazilian sausage is typically grilled or pan-fried. For breakfast and brunch sausages, pan-frying or baking in the oven is common. Burgers can be grilled, pan-fried, or even oven-baked.
