Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Ground pork
- 0.5 kg Ground beef
- 20 g Salt
- 25 g Paprika
- 10 g Black pepper
- 6 pcs Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dried oregano
- 1.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 150 ml Cold water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork and ground beef. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of meats.
Add the salt, paprika, black pepper, minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes to the meat mixture. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix until the spices are evenly incorporated.
Gradually pour the cold water into the mixture, mixing continuously. This helps improve the texture of the filling and ensures it maintains its juiciness during cooking.
Once the mixture is evenly combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Use the prepared filling for traditional Macedonian sausages by stuffing it into prepared casings, or shape it into patties for grilling or frying.
If using sausage casings, ensure they are soaked and rinsed properly before stuffing. Tie the ends securely and twist to form individual links.
