The Ingredients
What You'll Need:
To make Brazilian Toscana sausage, you will need the following ingredients:
1 pound of ground pork
1 pound of ground beef
1/2 cup of red wine
1 tablespoon of fennel seeds
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
Getting Started
To begin making your Brazilian Toscana sausage, start by combining the ground pork and beef in a large mixing bowl. Next, add in the red wine, fennel seeds, dried oregano, minced garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, parsley, and cilantro. Mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
Forming the Sausage
Once all of the ingredients are mixed together, it's time to form the sausage. Take a handful of the mixture and roll it into a log shape, about 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Repeat this process until all of the mixture has been used up.
Cooking the Sausage
There are several ways to cook your Brazilian Toscana sausage. You can grill it, bake it, or pan-fry it. If grilling, make sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the sausage for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. If baking, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the sausage for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. If pan-frying, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Serving Suggestions
Brazilian Toscana sausage can be served in a variety of ways. It can be enjoyed on its own as a main dish, sliced and added to sandwiches or wraps, or served alongside other Brazilian dishes such as feijoada or rice and beans. The possibilities are endless!
In Conclusion
Making your own Brazilian Toscana sausage at home is easier than you may think. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can have a delicious and authentic Brazilian dish in no time. So why not give it a try? Your taste buds will thank you.
