Hot italian sausage (chile pepper magazine)

6 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1teaspoonCrushed red chile
½teaspoonCayenne powder
2poundsPork, coarsely ground
2Garlic cloves, minced
1teaspoonCoarsely ground black pepper
1teaspoonSalt
teaspoonFennel seed
1teaspoonItalian seasoning
3ouncesDry red wine
1tablespoonSugar

Directions

Knead together all ingredients in a large bowl. Stuff the mixture firmly into hog casings, pricking any trapped air bubbles with a pin.

Tie off in 4 to 6-inch lengths. Cook the sausages in your preferred manner and crumble them over lasagna, or slice and serve them with a spicy marinara sauce over spaghetti. I advise doubling the recipe and making sausage pizzas.
