Buffalo Summer Sausage Recipes

SUMMER SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix beef, curing mixture, mustard seed, garlic powder, cayenne, red pepper flakes, salt, and liquid smoke. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate for three days, mixing well once a day.
• On the fourth day, preheat oven to 200 degrees F (100 degrees C).
• Shape the mixture into five logs, and place on a wire rack over a large drip pan. Bake for eight hours, then remove to cool on paper towels. Let cool, then wrap logs individually in plastic wrap. Chill completely before slicing. They also freeze well.

• In a large, heavy skillet, sear the sausages on all sides over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the sausages to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 6 minutes.
• To serve, cut the links into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with ground oregano, cumin, and fennel. Combine with the chile rajas and serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
• To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with crema and goat cheese. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with crema and goat cheese, fold, and eat right away.
