[@_hunter_hunter1048]

can you make this with squid instead ?!

[@ThirdLawPair]

My hack for all sausages is to replace any added water (ice in this recipe) with good stock. I've added pork or chicken stock to pork sausage. I bet replacing the ice with some frozen beef stock would be really good.

[@2guysandacooler]

Nice. Lots of flavor added.

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@2guysandacooler Try it. It's a heavy-handed technique with no culinary finesse whatsoever, but it adds lots of flavor and never tastes out of place.

[@jnorth3341]

Now I feel dumb for having never though of that, thanks. Not only will you get extra flavor but if you make your own stock it should have a bunch of good gelatin which should help with the binding.

[@marximus508]

Made this recipe with two un-trimmed tri tips...fat on. Local butcher was closed on Sunday when I decided to jump in so I used my best guess option. The fat ratio worked out about perfect after doing all the trimming. This recipe and video worked perfectly....hitting all the key marks all the way through. Ended up with a delicious mortadella...I used pork fat with half and green olives with the other (olive loaf). Olives didn't stay intact very well with the thin slice i perfer but still a huge success for my first attempt at an emulsified sausage concoction. Thanks for the recipe!

[@jnorth3341]

Nice, thank you, I might give it a try this winter. I don't think my food processor is strong enough but I'll do the method that worked for me doing Rhulman's hot dog recipes. I have a 1 hp #22 grinder and using the smallest die I run the mix through, spread it on a cookie sheet and back in the freezer for ~half hour, slice it with a pizza cutter and run it through the grinder again. Rinse and repeat about six times. Probably more work then having a good food processor but the texture came out great, with my grinder a 5 lb batch goes through in under 30 sec so nothing heats up.

Light on seasonings, and no seasonings that are dangerous to cats. Please? When we move we are going to give our help animal cats a better quality of life by making our own food but if I can make long shelf life good food for them then we can buy in bulk and make it less expensive than buying the name brand dry food we have been feeding them. And give them a better diet.

[@manocheher115]

It looks great. Where can I buy great beef mortadella?

[@jjcaiv]

I've been watching all of your videos since late January. Out of the numerous I saw I decided to start my journey making Mortadella. Reasons for starting here were, 1) I love mortadella 2) It seemed pretty easy Wanted to make mine with pork though. I saw that UMAi dry had a recipe on their website, so I used their recipe following your steps. And I'm posting here because you are the man,. and any advice would be greatly appreciated.... Grinding went well. When it came time to make the batter, I broke it into 4 parts to ease the strain on my food processor. Food processor ended up breaking on the last of the 4. I then decided to put that last batch in the kitchen aid and whip like you mentioned in the hotdog video. When i was done I mixed the last portion with the rest. added my fat, peppercorns. and pistachios. Mixed, and stuffed casing. When it came time to cook. I used the sous vid. Cooked @ 140 for 3 hours. When the time was up, i thought about it and said to myself how do I know it was actually cooked to right temp. I inserted a meat thermometer. The temp read 130 and thought I was trying to get to 140. Then I decided to google what the temp should be. Stanley Marianski's recipe said internal should be 157. UMAi dry's recipe which was based on Stanley's said they cooked to 150. So i restarted my timer for 2 more hours. I then checked when the time was up and it was 133. I then decided to raise the temp and set to 145. Cooked for 2 more hours. Temp went to 145. Raised the temp to 155 and cooked for 2 more hours, which brought me to 155. So i'm finally at 155 and i couldn't figure out why it took me so long. Then I realized your time table was based on the weight in your recipe. I was using a different recipe with a heavier wait. My question is, 1) what should the internal temp be? or what would you recommend? 2) is poking the sausage with a food thermometer going to mess it up because i'm creating holes for the water to get in? 3) Does raising the temp of the sous vide while cooking mess anything up? 4) is there a rule of thumb when deciding what temps and length of time with sous vide? As for my mortadella, it came out ok. I was worried mixing the last part in the Kitchen Aid would ruin the batch. I did follow all of your chilling and ice guidelines. My only complaint about the Mortadella I made is the flavor is a little too strong. I should have just followed your recipe. They have caraway, and anise. You don't have those but have smoked paprika and fennel. I really appreciate all of these videos that you make. I noticed there are a lot of recipes posted, but nobody shows you how to actually make this stuff. And when they do they don't get into the details as you do.

[@2guysandacooler]

How cool!! Thanks for the message. If you are cooking pork mortadella sous vide you can cook it till the internal gets to 145F for at least 1 hour (depending on how thick your is). If it's beef you can cook it till the internal gets to 135 - 140f (for 1 hour) 2. poking the sausage will allow water to get in and could dilute the seasonings. If it's stuffed tightly and there is a good seal though it should be fine 3. raising the sous vide temp is ok and will not hurt anything 4. There's no hard fast rule when it comes to sous vide cooking. It all comes down to thickness of meat and the temperature you are cooking at. The thicker the meat the longer you have to cook it. A few inches can cook for a couple hours where 4-6 inches might need 6 hours... Just as an example..
