Instructions

  1. Grind cold meat strips using a medium plate into a large bowl.

  2. Incorporate water, garlic, salt, pepper, and marjoram into the ground meat until thoroughly mixed.

  3. Fry a small patty to taste and adjust seasonings, then refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours or overnight.

  4. Knot one end of the casing and lightly coat the stuffing funnel with cooking spray. Slip the unknotted casing end over the funnel, pushing it up to the knot.

  5. Force the meat mixture into the stuffer, controlling the extrusion to create plump sausages without overstuffing.

  6. Once the casing is full, tie a knot at the end. Form the sausage into a large coil or twist into 5- to 6-inch links.

  7. Refrigerate the finished sausage, covered, for up to two days.

  8. Before cooking, prick the sausages along their length to prevent bursting.

  9. Place sausages in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160 F.

  10. Optionally, brown the sausage in a 350 F oven, pan-fry for 15 to 20 minutes, or grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side.

  11. Serve the cooked sausage with horseradish.
