Homemade Sausage in a Skillet
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. For homemade sausage, you can use not only pork mince, but also chicken or beef. You can also add other spices to the mince to taste. The water for the mince must be ice-cold—this helps keep moisture loss during cooking to a minimum. If voids form inside the sausage after it settles, pierce those spots with a needle and carefully squeeze out the air. When boiling the sausage, do not let the water boil vigorously, or the sausage may burst. Serve the appetizer at the table.
