Serdelki is the Polish equivalent of a wiener. This is a fine textured emulsified sausage like a hot dog or frankfurter.

 

 

Materials

pork (butt),                                     50%

beef                                                25%

fat pork trimmings                           25%

Some, or all of beef may be substituted with veal what will create even better sausage.

 

2.50 kg (5.50 lb)

1.25 kg (2.75lb)

1.25 kg (2.75 lb)

Ingredients

salt, 1.8% (cure #1 accounted for)

Cure #1

white pepper

nutmeg

garlic (optional)

crushed ice (ice cold water)

80 g (5 Tbsp)

12 g (2 tsp)

12.5 g (5 tsp)

4.0 g (2 tsp)

2.5 g (1 clove)

1-2 liters (1-2 quarts)

 

Instructions

1. Grind pork and pork trimmings through 3/16" (5 mm) plate, refreeze and grind again through 1/8" (3 mm) plate. Repeat procedure with beef.

2. Place the ground mix in a food processor, add 20-40%, 1-2 liters (1-2 quarts) of crushed ice or cold water and emulsify. Add all remaining ingredients and mix again.

3. Stuff  firmly into 32-34 mm hog casings, or 28-30 mm sheep casings. Make a continuous rope but form links about 4" (10 cm) long. You may form links using butcher twine. 

4. Place sausages on smoke sticks and  hang for 30-60 minutes. When sausages feel dry to the touch, apply hot smoke 60-70º C (140-158º  F) for about 100 minutes until light reddish - brown color develops.

5. Poach in water at 75º  C (167º  F) for about 15 minutes. The internal meat temperature should be 68-72º  C (152 - 160º  F).

6. Place in cold water for 3 minutes.

7. Store in a refrigerator.

Notes

Best served by warming up in hot water.

For the best quality sausage and the best color all meats should be cured: cut meats into 1" (25 mm) pieces, mix with cure #1 and salt, pack tightly in a suitable container, cover with parchment or clean cloth and leave in a refrigerator for 48 hours. Cure pork and beef in separate containers. If first grind is performed (3/16" plate), this time may be shortened to 24 hours as smaller particles cure faster. Then follow step 1.
