Lamb Sausages Recipes

SPICY LAMB AND MINT SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Combine the lamb, pork fatback, mint, chipotles, chives, black pepper, orange zest and 2 tablespoons salt in a bowl. Transfer to a large plastic zip-top bag and refrigerate overnight.
• At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, place all of your tools (including the meat grinder parts, stand mixer bowl, stand mixer paddle attachment and sausage stuffer parts) in the freezer to chill.
• Using your meat grinder, grind the marinated meat mixture through the small die plate into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, then return the mixture to the mixer. Add the milk and wine and beat on medium speed using the chilled paddle attachment until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Stuff the sausages and, for best results, refrigerate overnight.
• Before cooking, pierce each sausage several times with a pin. Grill over medium heat until the center registers 160 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also pan-fry or broil the sausages.) Slice the sausages lengthwise and serve on a split toasted baguette with crumbled feta and roasted peppers.

SPICY LAMB SAUSAGE WITH GRILLED ONIONS AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• To make the sausage, put ground lamb in a mixing bowl. Using a spice mill or mortar and pestle, grind cumin, coriander, black pepper and allspice. Add to lamb, along with salt, cayenne, cinnamon, paprika and garlic. Mix well with hands to incorporate. Fry a little piece of the mixture in a small skillet. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. Mix again and refrigerate at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight. Form mixture into 24 two-ounce patties.
• To make the vinaigrette, grind cumin, coriander and caraway. Combine with paprika and a good pinch of cayenne in a small bowl. Add garlic, vinegar, lemon juice and salt. Whisk in olive oil.
• Light a charcoal grill or use a grill pan. The heat should be moderate. Grill sausages, in batches if necessary, for about 2 minutes per side, until just done. Keep warm. Paint onion slices with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until softened slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with zucchini. Keep at room temperature.
• Line a large platter with lettuce leaves and pile sausages in the middle. Arrange onions and zucchini around the platter. Salt the tomatoes and distribute. Whisk the vinaigrette, then drizzle over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro and mint, and serve with warm pita breads, if desired.

FARMER'S WIFE'S BREAKFAST

Steps:

• To make the patties, in a large bowl, knead together the lamb, fennel seed, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and salt. Using your hands, form the mixture into twelve patties.
• In a skillet over medium- high heat, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons ghee. Place six patties in the hot skillet and fry for 4 minutes or until brown. Flip and fry for 3 minutes. Set aside. Add the remaining ghee to the skillet and fry the remaining patties.
• To make the salad, in a medium bowl, toss the greens with the olive oil, lemon, and salt until well coated. To serve, place half the salad on each plate and top with two patties and half the avocado, sauerkraut, and pomegranate seeds. Store the remaining patties for the next day's breakfast.

• Combine ground lamb and the spice paste together with a fork in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
