Homemade sausage production is one of the traditions in the Czech Republic that will never lose its charm. The smell of wood from the smokehouse, juicy meat, balanced spices and, above all, the feeling that you know exactly what you are eating. If you love honest Czech cuisine, homemade sausages are a real treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, when stores are full of industrial sausages, more and more people are rediscovering the beauty of home production. Try it too – it is not as complicated as it seems, and the taste is worth every minute of your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd69 What meat to choose? The basis is quality
The best combination for juicy, tender and at the same time firm sausages is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pork shoulder – will add meaty flavor and structure
pork belly – will provide juiciness and softness
The correct ratio of fat to meat is essential. Sausages should never be too dry \u2013 thanks to the belly, they will remain tender and fragrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udf3f Spices that make the character of Czech sausage
Each region has its own minor adjustments, but this mix is \u200b\u200ba timeless classic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
salt
a pinch of sugar to round out the taste
black pepper
ground cumin
chili to taste
marjoram
grated garlic
ice water (important for juiciness and the correct structure of the meat)
Ice water will help bind the mixture so that it is supple and fills the casings well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udd25 Smoking: slow work that returns hundreds of aromas
As with meat, patience is key here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sausages are smoked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in a heated smokehouse at about 70 \u00b0C
6 to 8 hours
They dry slowly, gaining color, the smell of smoke and a firm but juicy consistency.
The result? Sausages that are not oversalted, not artificially colored and have a taste that simply cannot be bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd58 What are homemade sausages good for?
crispy bread and mustard
mashed potatoes
baked potatoes
for making cabbage soup
for potato pancakes
or just with a beer during an evening gathering
Homemade sausage is a staple that never disappoints in Czech cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
