Sicilian Calabrese Sausage (Old School Recipe) | Celebrate Sausage S04E13

[@cabighorse]

Wow!! Sonny is entertaining on so many levels. Thanks for adding him to this season!!

[@rockbutcher]

I watch Sonny's channel all the time. I must say that this time I suspect that he's had more than one sip of wine. 🤣🤣 You have to admit, the man can sing.

[@absoz]

Had a read of the recipe whilst waiting for the video to release, looks wonderful Season 4 of celebrate sausage has, so far, been incredible this year - all gobble gobble yum yum

[@frankiefrank2628]

I'm an Italian-Canadian from Calabria and made sausage for years with my parents. Yes the measurements were always with the palm. We always used fine salt and actual whole black peppercorn instead. None of that vegetable hot sauce or wine. But to each their own. God Bless!

[@stevieg4201]

What a great recipe and entertainment, fantastic voice Sonny. I remember in the old days when the old timers,(including my Dad) never measured anything, I have always cooked this way, but I’ve learned that when baking you need to measure everything exactly to the recipe, and now when I make salsiccia, I measure everything exactly to what Eric’s recipe calls for , thanks for another fantastic recipe and episode of Celebrate Sausage season 4. Dio benedica tutti. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

[@TomWohl]

I like the simplicity of this, can't wait to try it.

[@kevinbarteaux1717]

Calabrese is one of, if not my favorite sausage, and I've been seeking a good recipe for years. I came across Sonny's recipe a while back, but the guestimated weights and quantities held me back from trying it. Thank you very much Eric for breaking it down. I can't wait to give it a shot!

[@michaelduncan2759]

Now this has to be my favorite one, as my heritage is Sicilian I am curious to see how your recipe stacks up against my Nona’s. Thanks again for doing my favorite series on KZbin for these past few years.

[@scotte5107]

I am glad that you posted your own recipe with actual measurements. I'm pretty sure my hands are larger than his. not sure if i would leave it hanging around for 2 weeks without some kind of cure in it.. but it does look tasty as a fresh sausage and i will defiantly be trying your recipe thanks!!

[@raymondruss652]

Hi Eric, I recently discovered your channel about months and I’ve been watching on one of your fan and I think you’re one of the most professional sausage maker that I ever known. I watch many many people that they make it but yours is something that nobody can beat. We love you and I hope you continue with what you doing by the way, I live in Thailand and if you ever end up coming to Thailand, I’ll be your host. You’re more than welcome. Stay as long as you want. Take care and cheers.

Thanks for the introduction of another outstanding sausage maker. I did subscribe. Now a whole other realm to explore :)

I love the handful measuring. My Italian friend gave me a great recipe and it uses handfuls!

[@DouglasSchmit]

I wish i could taste it too

[@stevieg4201]

And thank you for figuring this out in measurements for us, that was really cool if you to do. 👍🏽

My goodness, you singing is awesome, just like your recipes...

[@anthonyp-gx3mk]

This is a very traditional calabrese salami recipe too. Exactly the same. In Australian Some Italians may put red sauce and no paprika or put both or just paprika on its own. Mostly red sauce and no paprika.

[@christophersopko4793]

I made this the other day, and it was fantastic!! By far the best sausage I have made to date.

[@toddj2690]

What did you use for pepper sauce?

[@watermanone7567]

Terrific video. Thanks

[@mjohnson9743]

Another good video. Thanks again

[@BeanoNoir]

If you can't find pepper sauce, you can roast your own sweet peppers. They just have to be a type of sweet pepper. Bell pepper, calabrese pepper, even jalapenos are a type of sweet pepper when ripe red. Just keep in mind the hotter the pepper you use, the spicier the sausage. Also, the flavor profile is different with jalapenos, with them being more similar to the bright aromatic of green chiles, than the smoky floral flavor of bell pepper. You can roast peppers the same as tomatoes, and unlike green chiles, they have very thin skin just like tomatoes. You can also roast small batch in the air fryer very well. 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes will get you a very good blister. If you use an air fryer, make sure to puncture the peppers with a knife so you don't have a sealed vessel with steam. It will kaboom in your air fryer otherwise. After letting the peppers rest and cool, peel and seed them, then puree.

[@handicrapper]

Another tasty treat

[@BruceHornberger-wj2lc]

Learned a new way of tying sausage. Never would have thought about the way he did it. Definitely going to try it next batch of German farmer dausage(old school family recipe from great grampa)

[@darkiee69]

Just make a twist in the first one too so you get an even number and size

[@bradlywiebe3673]

what a vid... great sausage and great singing!

[@stonefarm]

I'd love to know how to make the travaglini pepper sauce. Can't buy it and I can't find a recipe.

[@terrymcmillan5105]

I'm always curious to know when stuffing using a grinder should you use a blade and grinder plate? I have both methods available. My stuffer is manual and is somewhat unwieldy when I'm alone but sometimes I use my grinder with a foot switch so I can control it more easily. Thank you Sonny for the recipe and Eric for your version in the familiar style we use. I am looking forward to making this soon and will give a shout back on my results.

[@withoutprejudice8301]

My advice?........, give up some of your beer budget $ and BUY a vertical sausage stuffer! Using the grinder to stuff casings shortens the grinder's life AND lowers the quality of the product you're trying to make (heat generation and mechanical working).

[@withoutprejudice8301]

Ohhhh......., this is a fresh sausage. Makes sense now.

[@tjazz89]

I have a question about safety, since I'm a beginner. Sonny said you could dry it by hanging it and that he was hanging it for 24 hrs. I didn't notice any curing salts used (it's possible I missed it). If that's the case, what makes it safe to hang without curing salts? I'm not doubting the safety of the recipe, just trying to understand it better, thanks!

[@stephenwest3658]

I was wondering the same thing. No curing salt?

[@tjazz89]

@stephenwest3658 I know it would ve fine hung below 40 degrees f i.e. refrigerated. It's the implication that it may be hung at room temp that has me questioning. I saw a recipe for Mexican longaniza that did the same thing and has me curious how it is safe

[@deangustafson7533]

No curing salts and left to dry? I can’t see how this would be safe. I certainly wouldn’t do it or eat it.

[@tjazz89]

@deangustafson7533 that's why I'm curious. I can see drying 24 hrs in the fridge then cooking it without curing salts. But I'm not sure about drying without them, refrigerated or not haha

[@thatsaromaarrustiemangiama113]

Always hang in a cool place. I let them hang in my garage and its always in the winter. My garage stays around 3-4 degrees C. If its summer you Vacuum pack right after or let dry for a day in your fridge. Thank you hope to see you on my channel

Che bella vocce!!!! Auguri, e tanti grazie per questa ricetta!

[@taccosnachos]

I like the addition of the red sauce instead of wine. Is it safe to hang without pink salt?

[@2guysandacooler]

That's a tricky question. The "Old School" way for making salami involved hanging without any curing salt. If the meat is freshly butchered and you work in a clean environment, then the risks are fairly low. With that being said the pepper paste that was added to this sausage more than likely has vinegar in it which will acidify the sausage a bit and the sugars that are in the pepper sauce will act as food for the bacteria during the fermentation step. With that being said, if you've never made a fermented sausage and you're not really sure what to look for I would recommend at least adding curing salt, better even if a starter culture is added. Then it would be 100% safe no problem.

[@taccosnachos]

@@2guysandacooler appreciate the detailed answer! Thank you 😁

[@2guysandacooler]

[@darkiee69]

Sonny, shouldn't you put a twist in the first sausage in the string so you get an even number and size on all the sausages? And can you use ajvar as a substitution for the Italian pepper sauce?

[@eaglezxz3354]

Hi Eric...thoughts plz on this being smoked.????Wd you tweek it in order to do that???i made a fermented one last winter with pepper sauce that turned out great. Thnx 4 the recipe...and the conversion. Thnx

[@theblobfish9614]

Anybody ever experiment with adding the skin in the sausage? I boiled the skin and pureed it once soft and mixed it in. I feel it helped bin the moisture a bit and gave a more unctuous feeling to the juice

[@Matthiaskntube]

👏 for your singing!

Can you dry them under the sun?

[@Spdyiam]

The level of cross contamination here is worrying. Taking a gloved hand that has just handled raw meat and then holding that up against the mouth of each of the spice containers and their lids is a definite way to make your whole household sick. It also does not appear that there were any curing salts added and he is talking about hanging these up for two weeks in a dark cool place. Unless that dark cool place is a refrigerator or a sealed cold room, there is a good chance someone is getting sick. Thanks for the recipe, but when you are teaching something on KZbin that is new to your audience, especially something that can make you really sick if done improperly, food safety measures should be shared even if you choose not to observe them.

[@thatsaromaarrustiemangiama113]

For over 60 years my parents and grandparents have been making sausage and I have been for over 35 years nobody has every been sick only full and satisfied. Maybe this new generation might be a little to delicate ?

[@Spdyiam]

@@thatsaromaarrustiemangiama113 I am certainly not suggesting that you change what you and your family do. You do you. But this very channel recently posted a video advising sausage makers that storing raw meat above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for more than two hours dramatically increases the chances of dangerous bacteria forming. This is why curing salts or equivalents are used. Here is the link to their video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haCclX-BmNaZarssi=PZRj3yS8o5fiT4XJ I seriously doubt that 2 Guys & A Cooler pulled the information they quoted in their video out of their butt. Who knows, maybe you think they did.

Thank you so much. I really like the scalable output feature. Makes it so much easier to adjust. I usually like to do 10 lb batches, mostly because I have a 20 lb stuffer and doing just a KG would leave almost half of it in the bottom of the stuffer, but 10lb is a lot to do when trying a brand new recipe.

Your a comedian and a part time singer ( cause it seems you're pretty good at both)... but not a sausage maker that's for sure ... half a jar? What if when the company changes the size of the jar n pepper sauce full in your sausage ... not controlled n transition sized hand fills of spice that not even your ancestors would ever have you do anything other than watch sausage making ... heck even my dad's method of prehistoric sausage making ways that for over 10 to 15 yrs I tried to help him become more consistent to his mostly stubborn refusal was more scientific than this comedy act n when u used the SAME !!! 3 handfuls of black pepper to salt regardless of how much u love pepper EVERYONE knew this was a big joke. Look it up salt is to be approx 1.5% ( meaning 15 grams per kg of meat while pepper should between one fifth of that !! As in anywhere between 2 to 5 grams of pepper for every kg of meat) so if u love pepper flavor as I do than go heavy n that's still 1 part pepper to 3 parts salt... u like the AUTHENTIC old style angle not even your ancestors nor mine did things that unregulated n uncontrolled... mr plywood on sausage lol ... its soppresata n that's a whole other recipe... ... start the video next time with the funny guy who can sing
