FRESH COUNTRY PORK SAUSAGE WITH PEPPER AND SAGE

Steps:

• Combine 1/3 pork and 1/3 pork fat in processor. Using on/off turns, process mixture until finely ground. Transfer to large bowl. Repeat with remaining pork and pork fat in 2 more batches. Sprinkle water, sage, salt, and red and black pepper over pork. Using moistened hands, mix sausage just until blended. Wrap sausage in plastic and chill. (Sausage can be prepared up to 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Form sausage into 3-inch-diameter patties. Heat heavy large skillet over medium heat. Fry patties in batches until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; keep warm. Transfer to platter and serve.

SAUSAGE (SAZEEG) AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the green and red peppers with the olive oil, granulated garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the peppers on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until lighter in color and soft, about 25 minutes. Reserve and don't drain excess oil from the baking sheet.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the sausages, covered with a bowl, until nice and charred and no longer pink on the inside, flipping once, about 12 minutes each side.
• Preheat the broiler and set the rack to the middle of the oven. Brush the inside of the rolls with the reserved sweet pepper oil from the baking sheet. Place the sausages, peppers, some more of the sweet pepper oil and some of the Homemade Hot Giardiniera on the rolls. Top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melty and gooey! Take off your shirt, get some color and eat.
• Combine 2 cups water and the salt in a glass or nonreactive bowl. Mix until the salt is dissolved. Add the carrots, cauliflower, serranos, minced garlic, celery and bell peppers to the salt water and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• On day 2, drain and rinse the vegetables. Mix the canola oil, oregano and black pepper in a clean bowl. Add the vegetables and mix to combine. Allow to marinate overnight. Giardiniera will only get better with time. After 2 days at the most in the bowl, you can place the Giardiniera in air-tight mason jars and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.

SAUSAGE AND CHEESE ROLLS WITH SAGE OIL

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone on the middle oven rack and preheat to 500˚ F. Place a baking sheet on top of the pizza stone.
• Warm the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; season with salt.
• Divide the sausage into 16 small balls. Cook in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Divide the dough into 16 balls (about 2 inches each). Flatten and shape each into a 3 1/2-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Put 1 piece of cooked sausage in the center of each round and top each with a few cubes of cheese. Very lightly brush the edges of the dough with water. Bring the edges of the dough toward the center, lightly pleating to form a tight package; pinch to seal. Turn seam-side down; using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of each dough ball to create a steam vent.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and carefully line with parchment paper; place the dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush liberally with the sage oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake 5 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with more sage oil. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately with the remaining sage oil for dipping.
