Pico De Gallo Sausage - Homemade Sausage Recipe

Thank you for watching my Pico De Gallo Sausage video. On this video, I took one of the most popular taco toppings/salsas and added it to a delicious smoked sausage. This Pico De Gallo Sausage was so full of Mexican style flavors and the Pico de Gallo took it over the top. I smoked these sausages in my Yoder Frontiersman using Jealous Devil lump charcoal as my base and small splits of post oak wood to maintain those low cold smoke temps. If you're into sausage making, this Pico De Gallo Sausage is a must try!

[@andywitt2982]

Joe! How big is the flavor difference between smoking sausages on your stick burner vs your electric smoker? When it comes to traditional bbq there's a huge difference - does that that extend to sausages as well?

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Both smoke flavors are very similar. The offset is a bit more subtle than the electric smoker. I love using my electric smoker for sausages but somehow always migrate to my offset. Next sausage will be smoked in my PK100. 👍🏼

[@ericalvarado4566]

Some pickled red onions would go great with that 🤤

[@D...........33]

Looking good 😉

[@brianveestrom6784]

Nice crunchy snap on that link. I liked the tomato onion cilantro in the chopped bin. I don't think it was a coincidence that it resembled the flag of Mexico. Nice touch.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Hey Brian! That's exactly what my wife said. I appreciate you watching buddy.👍🏼

[@victorpena5217]

Try lime pepper, Joe. You can get that little citrus kick without the weird mouth feel of lime pulp. In theory. I've used it when making steak a la mexicana and it seems to work pretty well.

[@bertquinn9717]

My mouth is watering watching you eat the gorgeous pico de Gallo sausages. There is a lime like fruit in the Phillipines call calamansi but it is not as sweet and quite sour. That might be good on this instead of the like. At least it would give it a little different flavor. Mayne?

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Interesting. I'll have to look that up. 👍🏼

[@RivetGardener]

Absolutely delicious sausages, Joe. Wow, you are the master. Your Frontiersman looks brand new. Is it? Beautiful looking Saw-Saw-Jezz on your chopping block! I know they tasted beyond good. Yes, Pico needs Limon. I loved that savage bite! I wanna be a savage too. I'd put one on a large flour tortilla, slather some refritos and queso fresco, and turn that into a Burrito Salvaje! Ay Dios Mio, Baby....hell yeah!

I’ve just noticed I’ve never seen you use fennel!! Ive always thought fennel was a staple, a necessity for sausage!!

[@claylatour1899]

I love all your videos, especially making sausage. Do you use the same % of salt and pepper and other seasonings in all sausages that you make? Here its looking like you use about 1.3% salt to meat weight. Is that what you would use in all sausages you make? Hopefully I'm making sense in what I am asking...lol

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Hey Clay, very close. I seem to like 1% of the total weight in meat for salt. The only time you have to be careful is when you add cheese or other salty ingredients to your sausage. 👍🏼

[@ardiris2715]

I was going to make carnitas with pico de gallo, but you changed my mind. (:

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

These were so tasty!🤘

[@dannywilson304]

Joe, I love your videos. They're very informative. Do you have a formula you use to figure the Basis amounts of ingredients you select? Basically a good starting point? Keep up the good work. Great job.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Good question Danny, it's a trial and error kind of deal. Salt is usually 1.5% to 2% of the weight of the meat but you can't use that formula with ingredients like pepper that's lighter. So let's say you add 1.5% salt and you lay it down on a plate, eyeball the same amount in pepper and weigh it out. If you like more pepper, add more and weigh out the total and stick to that recipe for future cooks. Then go on to the next ingredient. Hope this helps.

[@JoeG322]

this one looks great!! I did your jalapeno popper version, it was amazing!!!

[@Ross-ro1cs]

Loving the channel and the recipes. Would love to see your take on a boudin sausage in the future!!

[@richardrush4841]

Every since I saw these on IG I've been waiting for the video. Your sausages always look so amazing, they need to invent smell-a-vision. When you put the pieces of the grinder in the freezer, does that help the seasoning not to stick? Also would you be able to add Cheyenne powder to your chili powder to make it hot chili powder? Great video. ✌🏼

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Placing the items in the freezer keeps everything nice and cold and it prevents the fat from smearing inside the equipment. Yes you can use Cheyenne pepper too. Thanks for watching.👍🏼

That sausage is calling my name. If this recipe is one of the top three. What are the other 2?

[@elpipetuanis]

It would be great if you would do these in percentages too, next to the weights.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Hey Lee, I don't use percentages buy it's pretty easy to figure out. I appreciate you watching.👍🏼

[@elpipetuanis]

@@SmokinJoesPitBBQ Watching you make sausages has made me want to get into doing it. How do you figure out the amounts of each one of the ingredients? That is why I asked if they were percentages.

[@SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

@@elpipetuanis great question Lee. There are so many variables that I use percentage mainly on the salt content. Rule of thumb for salt is 1.5% to 2.0% of the weight. Even though that's a rule of thumb, it can be way too much salt and I usually use like 1% or 1.2%. Adding cheese will change the amount of salt I add as well. I might do a video on how I come up with my recipes.👍🏼
