Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Notes: MISSING INGREDIENT 30 bayberries. The zaar computer won't take it.
  2. The original recipe read 1 tsp fresh or dried rue. The ratio of herbs is 1:3 [dried:fresh] You may also try 3 tsp of rue to 1 tsp of dried. Add to suit. ALSO NOTE: The fish sauce used is Roman Fish sauce NOT Oriental.
  3. Next you need sausage skins or casings. Your butcher can supply you with these.
  4. Process all the ingredients except the skins or casings. A food processor works.
  5. If you are using fresh skins, wash them and preserve in salt. Again your butcher can explain what you need to do. Ask them.
  6. Tie a knot in the end of each one.
  7. Put a 1/2 inch plain tube in a piping bag and 1/2 fill with the mixture; do not put too much in at one time or it will be difficult to squeeze. Take the open end of the skin, pull it over the tube and push down repeatedly until the majority of the skin sits like a collar half way down the tube. Grip this with your finger and thumb and slowly release the skin as you squeeze the bag. Stop squeezing well before the skin runs out, leaving 2-3 inches of skin to allow for shrinkage.
  8. When finished twist each sausage into 4 lengths or your preferred segments.
  9. Optional but authentic:.
  10. Smoke the sausages. If you do not have a smoker:.
