I added crushed pepper to the marinade to kick it up a notch. To dry it I threaded the meat on wooden skewers and hung them from the oven rack. The meat dried more evenly and produced a more consistent product. I posted a couple of pics.
This is my first attempt at making my own Italian sausage. I like my Italian sausage really hot so I put a lot more pepper flakes in it than were called for. My wife said it's too spicy for her. That's okay. More for me.
I like it with lemon and pepper seasoning. Shake all ingredients together in a resealable plastic dish and use a grill wok or other grill dish with holes and be sure and turn with tongs about 3 or 4 times while cooking.
The first time I tried this I did everything by hand. I live in a small town in the far south of Mexico and am an hour and a half from the closest grocery store. I had to substitute light rye flour someone brought me from the States and brown sugar but luckily I make my own dill pickles so I had the juice. It came out good. In the mean time someone gave me a kitchen aid stand mixer and I used it the second time and the bread came out superb!!! I added about half a tablespoon more caraway seeds and used a coffee grinder on half of them and left the other half whole to give it a stronger caraway flavor. The first loaf was done in a smaller bread pan and this loaf was done in the recipes suggested 5 x 9 pan. Made quite a difference. Made Rubens that were to die for. The hardest part was finding sauerkraut and corned beef. Thanks for the recipe since in 16 years in Mexico I have only seen rye bread twice and both times I got my hopes up and was sorely disappointed. Keep em commin Dad.
I have been making this soup for years and it has never failed to impress my guests or myself. Sometimes when I am making meatballs I will make a pan of marble sized balls, freeze them up, bag them and throw a hand full into the soup as I am reheating it. Also sometimes instead of pasta I use rice. Great with Parmesan cheese sprinkled of top. It's all good!!
