HOMEMADE BRATWURST (GERMAN PORK & VEAL SAUSAGES)

Steps:

• You will need to have a meat grinder and butcher's twine to prepare this recipe.
• Make sure all visible fat and gristle has been trimmed from the meats.
• Cut meat into very small pieces, then place in a bowl with salt, nutmeg, and mace and mix to combine.
• Put the meat mixture through a very clean meat grinder three times.
• Mix the ground meat mixture with 1/2 cup water.
• Stuff casings, being careful not to tear, tying ends with butcher twine.
• The number and size of sausages you can make will depend on how small or large the casings you purchased are.
• To cook the bratwurst, set sausages into a pot and fill with enough cold water to cover.
• Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat.
• Let stand 3-5 minutes, or until firm.
• Drain water.
• Pour some milk into a bowl and dip each bratwurst into the milk.
• Set dipped bratwurst onto a greased broiler pan and broil or grill until golden brown under low-medium (300-350°F if broiling) heat for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
• Makes enough filling for 4-6 servings.

SEAFOOD BOIL

Steps:

• Use a very large pot (we use a 40 quart pot), fill it half full with water; bring water to a full boil. Add salt, shellfish boil, sausage, and potatoes. Let cook until the potatoes are approximately 1/2 completed cooking.
• Stir in lemons, hot peppers, and corn. Continue boiling until all of the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat.
• Mix in shrimp and crab. Cover pot and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. When shrimp are pink and the crabmeat opaque and flaky, remove all of the vegetables and shellfish from the pot, and drain well. Serve immediately.
