Pork & Fennel Sausages

These sausages are inspired by the great Antonio Carluccio. When we tried them, they were so delicious. Try to find the best minced pork you can get your hands on and also use a good red wine. We used a good red Chianti. Italian sausages...Italian wine :) The secret in getting good sausages is to mix the meaty mixture for a long time by hand!!! This makes sure that all the ingredients are infused into the meat. As with all sausages you can grill them, BBQ them, fry them...whatever you desire. When they were done I dipped them in some pre-made Caponata but if you cannot find it a good red bell pepper sauce like Ajvar will do just fine or ketchup or whatever you fancy!! To prepare about 12 sausages you will need...
  • 1kg minced pork
  • 1 red chilli, de-seeded & chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
  • 120ml red wine (We used Chianti)
  • 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to...
  1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them well by hand. 
  2. Shape them up into 12 equally sized sausages.
  3. Heat a pan with some olive oil and fry them until done from both sized, about 10 minutes or until cooked through. You can also grill them.
  4. Serve them with any sauce you like.
Enjoy!!
