Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken fillet
- 150 ml milk 1%
- 6 g nitrite salt
- 3 g sweet paprika
- 1 g hot paprika
- 1 pcs chicken egg (category C1)
- natural casing (collagen)
- culinary twine
Method
- Pass the chicken fillet through a meat grinder twice or blend in a blender at the highest power setting. Transfer to a bowl, add all the spices, milk and egg, and blend the ingredients together with an immersion blender until smooth.
- Stuff the natural casing tightly (the recipe makes 2 sausages approximately 20 cm in diameter). Tie off both ends with culinary twine.
- Place the 2 sausages in a saucepan, add water and heat to 80°C. Give the sausages a slightly smaller diameter — they will expand during cooking. Once the water reaches 80°C, maintain this temperature for 3 hours with the lid on. This cooking method is similar to sous vide (if you have a multicooker, you can use it instead).
- After 3 hours, transfer the sausages from the hot water to a saucepan with very cold water. Leave to cool completely — this will take about 30 minutes. This is the pasteurization process.
Equipment
- meat grinder or blender
