Place all the parts of the grinder in the freezer for at least
1 hour prior. Attach the grinder to your mixer and fit it
with the ¼-inch die. On medium speed, grind the pork
mixture into the mixer bowl. Feed crumpled a paper
towel through the grinder to force out any remaining bits
of sausage. With the paddle attachment, mix the sausage
on medium-low speed until homogeneous and tacky,
about 2 minutes. Shape and cook as desired.
TO GRIND WITH A FOOD PROCESSOR
Place the processor bowl and blade in the freezer for 15
minutes. Working with 200 grams (about 7 ounces) at a
time, place the seasoned pork in the bowl of the food
processor and pulse until finely ground, about 15 short
pulses. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat until all the pork
is ground. Using clean hands, knead the pork until it is
homogeneous and tacky, about 5 minutes. Shape and
cook as desired.
- Uncooked sausage will keep for up to 5 days in the
refrigerator.
