  1. 1

    Cut the pork and veal into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Rinse the salt off the fatback thoroughly, then soak it in warm water for 20 minutes. Remove it.

  3. 3

    Toss the pork, veal, fatback, sage, garlic powder, salt, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, mace, nutmeg, and pepper together very well and cover. Refrigerate overnight for 12 hours.

  4. 4

    Run all the meat through a meat grinder. Lightly knead a couple of times; it should already be nearly evenly blended. Cover and return it to the refrigerator for 1 hour.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse the casings, running water through the inside. Soak them in warm water for 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Knot one end of a casing and slide the other end onto the sausage-stuffing attachment of your stand mixer. Feed the cold ground meat into the casing at medium-low speed; if it gets too warm, it becomes hard to feed into the casings.

  7. 7

    As the casing fills, twist it into links of your desired size. Tie off the other end after the final link.

  8. 8

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the sausages, turning as needed, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
