Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
The June Charcutepalooza challenge was to make a poultry sausage. I went contrarian and made a chicken sausage, a type of sausage I never, ever eat. The result? A light, moderately spiced and delicious chicken sausage.
The challenge was grinding meat and then making either Mexican chorizo or Merguez sausage. I just recently came into possession of some lovely locally-raised lamb, so there was no question about what I was going to make: Merguez.
