Small Group Workshop: How the Sausage is Made with Haley Laube

We’ve all heard the saying that you don’t want to know how the sausage is made. But what if you’re the kind of person who does want to know just that? Then you’re in luck, because Milk Street’s own Haley Laube is here to teach you how to make sausage at home. We’ll cover every step of the process, starting with what to ask for at the butcher counter and ending with a pan of cooked, ready-to-enjoy sausages. In between, you’ll learn which pieces of equipment you need for successful and sanitary home sausage making. We’ll cover grinding meat using a variety of techniques and adjusting the fineness of the grind to suit the final result you want. You’ll learn the difference between an emulsified and a non-emulsified sausage and how to choose the right type and size of casing for every project you undertake. With all those basics covered we’ll move on to the fun stuff of flavorings and styles. We’ll cover a Classic Bratwurst, Sweet & Hot Italian and a homemade hot dog so good you’ll be ruined for anything store-bought forever. You’ll learn how to safely judge whether your meat is properly seasoned before moving on to stuffing, linking and storing. In just two hours, you’ll go from sausage novice to aficionado.
