Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2poundsFat-trimmed round steak, ground - twice, if possible
1Egg -or-
2Egg whites
¼cupChianti or any other dry red wine
2teaspoonsGarlic salt
1tablespoonInstant onion
1tablespoonFennel seeds
1teaspoonCrushed cayenne pepper; more, if desired
1tablespoonOregano
1teaspoonSage
Sausage casing (optional)

Directions

Combine meat, egg, wine, and seasonings. If you have a sausage-stuffing funnel and casing, stuff the mixture into the casing to form 2-3 inch links. Otherwise, shape the meat into uncased sausage-shaped oblongs or into small, flat sausage cakes or patties.

Because this is uncured sausage, it should be cooked and served as soon as possible, or wrapped and frozen for later use. Makes about 40 small links or patties, about 35 calories each. Posted to Digest eat-lf.v097.n172 by The International Slim Gourmet Cookbook, by Barbara Gibbons on Jul 8, 1997
