Falconettis Chicken Thai Sausage Recipes

THAI CURRY CHICKEN SAUSAGE SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the Asian slaw: Combine sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, salt, sesame oil, carrots and cabbage in a medium bowl. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• For the sausage: Combine coconut milk, cilantro, lime juice, salt, curry powder, garlic, cayenne and white pepper in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Place chicken and fatback in another medium bowl.
• Add seasoning mixture to meat and either mix by hand or with a mixer with a paddle attachment for 45 seconds to 1 minute. (The mixture should be slightly sticky.)
• Place sausage mix into a sausage press, then add casings to tube and press out sausages.
• Link into 8-inch sausages.
• Bring a large pot filled with water to a simmer. Poach sausages until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• For the Thai curry chicken sausage sandwich: Combine mayo and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.
• Preheat a griddle or nonstick saute pan. Cut 1 sausage lengthwise down the middle and spread open. Oil griddle and place sausage on; cook until skin is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place roll on griddle to toast. Place sausage on roll and top with 1/3 cup slaw and sriracha mayo. Cut in half and serve.

SWEET ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Mix chicken with garlic, parsley, cheese, fennel seeds, pepper, and salt. Form 6 large, thin patties, 4 to 5 inches, or 12 small patties, 2 to 3 inches. Preheat a large, nonstick skillet and fry sausage in extra-virgin olive oil, 3 or 4 minutes on each side over medium to medium- high heat.

THAI PI

Steps:

• For the chicken: Mix the chicken, coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, turmeric, white pepper and garlic together. Place in the fridge to marinate for at least 3 hours.
• Once the chicken is marinated, grill or broil it until fully cooked. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
• For the pizza: Lightly oil the crust and place the shredded chicken on top. Cover with the cheeses.
• Cook according to instructions or the recipe for the crust you are using and cooking device (grill, oven, wood oven).
• For the plate: After the pizza is cooked, top with the cilantro, nuts, carrots and chili sauce (or a selection of your own favorites).

TRUFFLE AND PISTACHIO SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Put the ground pork into a large bowl. Add the wine, garlic, pepper, curing salt, pistachios, and truffles, if using. Mix well with your hands. Divide the mixture in half. Form and press each half into a sausage about 8-inches long and 2-inches in diameter. Take care to press the mixture firmly enough to eliminate air bubbles, which would result in unsightly holes in the sausages. Wrap individually in plastic wrap, twisting the ends to enclose the sausages, and then roll each of them in aluminum foil, twisting the ends of the foil. Refrigerate for at least 3 days to cure. (Freeze 1 of the sausages, if desired, and thaw it slowly in the refrigerator before cooking.)
• The very important part of poaching these sausages is to do it at a low temperature for a long time. This makes a big difference in the taste and juiciness of the meat. Bring a pot of water to between 150 and 160 degrees F. Lower the wrapped sausages into the pot, and place a heavy lid that is a little smaller than the top of the pot on top of the sausages to weigh them down in the pot and keep them immersed in the water. Cook in the same temperature range, checking the pot occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the sausages is close to the same temperature as the water, about 150 degrees F. To keep warm, let the sausages sit in the 150 to 160 degrees F water until serving time.
• Note: Morton Tender Quick Curing Salt is a curing agent composed of 99 percent salt, 1/2 percent sodium nitrate, and 1/2 percent sodium nitrite. If you use regular salt the sausages will be fine to eat but will be gray in color rather than the appealing pink color achieved with the curing agent.

THAI CHICKEN AND TURKEY SAUSAGE

Steps:

• If using chicken and turkey thighs, coarsely grind the meat and skin through a 3/8-inch plate or chop coarsely in batches in a food processor.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground poultry with the cilantro, fish sauce, basil, mint, garlic, ginger, curry paste, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne. Knead thoroughly with your hands. Fry a small patty until done and taste for salt, pepper, and other seasonings.
• Stuff the sausage into medium hog casings, and tie into 5-inch links.
• The sausage will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator, or for 2 months in the freezer.
