Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams lean beef (such as top round or sirloin)
- 125 grams lean lamb
- 5 grams white pepper
- 10 grams coriander seeds
- 2 grams nutmeg
- 1 gram clove
- 12 grams salt
- 300 centimeters beef collagen casings
Instructions
Cut the beef and lamb into small cubes about 1 inch in size to prepare them for grinding.
Chill the meat in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before grinding to ensure better texture.
Grind the meat through a coarse setting in your meat grinder.
In a small dry pan, toast the coriander seeds over medium heat until fragrant. Allow them to cool and then grind them into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, ground coriander, white pepper, nutmeg, clove, and salt.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture. You can use your hands for a better mix.
Stuff the meat mixture into the beef collagen casings using a sausage stuffer. Twist the sausages to form links about 4 inches long and ensure they are tightly packed to avoid air pockets.
Hang the sausages in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place or use a dehydrator set at a temperature of about 70°F to dry the sausages. This process may take 2-4 days depending on humidity and air circulation. The droewors should be dry and firm but not overly hard.
Once the droewors are dry to your preference, they can be stored in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags for extended shelf life.
Enjoy your Whole30 Droewors as a high-protein snack or part of a nutritious meal.
