How to Make Polish Sausage: Bob Borkowski Style (Episode 18)

Video Description

The Bob Borkowski style of Polish sausage is special for two reasons: its coarse grind (using a ½” grind plate) and its strong garlic flavor. In this video, we’ll show you how to make this sausage from start to finish, all in tribute to the Borkowski family. Our Final Freezer keeps it about the food. We'll show you how to make simple, delicious, healthy (and often dairy-free and gluten-free) food -- always with a twist of humor. We don't give you recipes. We show you how.

Cut the meat into slices that can fit in the meat grinder. 2. Place an aluminum pan next to the meat grinder to catch the ground meat. 3. Turn on the meat grinder and tighten the collar of the grinder, which holds the grinding plate in place. 4. Feed each slice through the meat grinder. 5. Measure out 10 pounds of ground meat into a separate aluminum pan. 6. In a mixing bowl, mix the water, ground pepper, granulated garlic powder, and salt. 7. Add the seasoning to the 10 pounds of meat. Scrape the bowl to be sure that you remove all seasoning. 8. Mix the sausage thoroughly from top to bottom and from side to side. 9. Clamp the sausage stuffer to the table. Place a towel under the stuffing tube to catch excess water. 10. Make sure that you have marks on your table to help you measure the sausage links later on. 11. Fill the stuffing tube with meat. Press down on the meat as you pack it to prevent air bubbles from forming in the sausage. 12. From a bowl of casing, thread a piece of rinsed sausage casing onto the stuffing tube. Before you start stuffing, be sure that all the casing is on the tube. 13. Slowly crank the handle of the sausage stuffer to push meat into the sausage casing. Use one hand to guide the sausage casing and one hand to crank the stuffer. 14. As you crank, segment the sausage to your preferences. Our Final Freezer keeps it about the food.
