To make homemade liver sausage spicier and more flavorful, you can add 2-3 chopped garlic cloves, ground nutmeg, allspice, coriander or marjoram to the minced meat
Rinse the liver with cold water and dry thoroughly with a paper towel. Remove films, vessels and bile ducts. Cut into large cubes.
Peel and finely chop the onions. Fry until golden brown in a little vegetable oil.
Cut the pork fat from the skin. Cut into small cubes. If you do not want the lard to be visible in the finished sausage, then pass it through a meat grinder along with the liver.
Scroll the liver through a meat grinder, mix with chopped bacon and fried onions. Beat the eggs into the mixture and add the semolina. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
The recipe for homemade liver sausage can be diversified: for example, replace semolina with round grain rice at the rate of 100 g per 1 kg of liver. Rinse rice before adding to minced meat and soak in warm salted water for 20 minutes
Pre-soak the small pork intestines in cold water. Tie at one end and fill with minced liver using a special attachment for a sausage casing for a meat grinder, a pastry syringe or an ordinary plastic bottle with a cut off bottom. Fill the casing not too tightly, as the semolina swells during heat treatment. Tie the bowel every 15–20 cm to make small sausages.
Use a toothpick to make several punctures in the shell of each sausage. Boil water in a large saucepan, place the sausages in it, and cook for 25-30 minutes. Then fry on both sides in a mixture of butter and vegetable oils until golden brown.
If you don't have pork intestines, you can cook liver sausage at home in cling film or plastic bags. Put the minced meat in a bag, remove the air from it. Tamp the mass tightly, form a roller out of it and tie it with threads on both sides.
Place the bag in boiling water for 45-50 minutes. Turn it periodically so that the minced meat cooks evenly. Remove the finished sausage from the bag and let cool. Store in foil in the refrigerator.
This is a delicacy that surpasses the store counterpart in taste and nutritional value. Its preparation is based on fresh natural ingredients. The preservatives, coloring agents and flavor enhancers that commercial sausage manufacturers do not skimp on are not present in the homemade product.
Homemade liver sausage recipes - weight. Some housewives adhere to long-term traditions and fill the natural casing with minced meat, others use durable bags and other devices for these purposes. Each of the methods will be described in detail in this article.
The natural casing gives the finished product an original taste and retains a maximum of vitamins.
Ingredients:
Spices:
Inventory for cooking liver sausage at home in the intestine: a knife, teaspoons and tablespoons, 2 deep bowls, a small deep plate, 2 cutting boards, a large bowl, a frying pan, a lid, a stove, a meat grinder with a large grid and a sausage attachment, a needle, thick thread, oven, non-stick baking sheet, foil.
So, first you need to start cooking minced meat. It is necessary to thoroughly rinse the liver and lard under running water, cut off the skin from the latter. Cut the main components of the dish into 3-4 centimeters cubes. Put chopped liver and lard in a deep bowl. Separate the onion and garlic from the husk. Cut the onion into half rings no more than 1.5 centimeters wide.
Heat a frying pan, pour in a little sunflower oil, fry the onion until transparent and barely noticeable crust, but no more than 4-5 minutes.
Not a single recipe for liver sausage, prepared at home, is complete without the use of a meat grinder. Whether it is a device with manual or automatic control - there is no difference. Pieces of liver and bacon must be passed through a large grate, the fried onion and fresh garlic must be twisted. Drive eggs into the finished mixture and add semolina. Mix thoroughly, add spices, mix again. Add milk last, cover, leave for 40-45 minutes to infuse. During this time, the semolina will increase in size.
Hepatic sausage, cooked at home in the intestine, requires the main ingredient - a natural casing. In butchers' shops you can buy a ready-to-use product, peeled and salted. It is necessary to take it out of the package, put it in a deep bowl and fill it with water, leave it for half an hour to separate the remaining salt. To flush the colon, insert the narrow edge of the watering can into one of its ends and let the water pass. Throw the washed product in a colander, leave for 5-10 minutes to drain the remaining liquid. It is important that while filling the intestines with minced meat, they are moist, this will minimize the likelihood of air getting into the sausage.
So, how to cook liver sausage at home in a natural casing? You need to stuff your guts. It is required to install a horn attachment on the meat grinder. Then prepare a baking sheet for baking the dish - cover the non-stick surface with a sheet of foil.
Pull the bowel completely over the attachment. Next, you need to put minced meat in the neck of the meat grinder, scroll the handle, gradually filling the shell. The optimal sausage size is no more than 40 centimeters. Tighten the end of the intestine with a strong thread. Make 1-2 punctures in the center of the sausage with a needle to remove the remaining air. Then you can fill the next sausage according to the example. After each serving, it is important to tighten a strong knot so that the product does not disintegrate during heat treatment.
Liver sausage, cooked at home, will be tasty and rich if baked well. Before sending it to the oven, heated to 160 degrees, the dish must be generously greased with sunflower oil. Sausage baking time is 40-45 minutes.
You can eat the dish cold or hot. It goes well with vegetable side dishes, boiled potatoes and rice. In combination with rye bread, a thin layer of butter and lettuce, it will be an excellent snack.
If it was not possible to find a natural casing, but you want to taste the delicacy, improvised means, for example, a durable bag, can take over its role.
Ingredients:

It is necessary to remove all films, in order to do this quickly, it is enough to dip the ingredient in boiling water for 30 seconds. Now you can cut it into pieces. Cut the skin from lard, divide into 2 equal parts. Send one to the freezer, cut the other into pieces.
Stage two - kneading minced meat. Grind pieces of liver and lard in a meat grinder or blender (in the latter case, the taste of the finished dish will be softer). Cut the frozen part of the bacon into half a centimeter cubes. In a large bowl, combine the minced meat, chopped bacon, add spices. Drive in eggs, gently add flour, starch, sour cream. After adding the chopped garlic, mix thoroughly.
Stage three - shaping the sausages. Expand a food bag, put half of the minced meat in it, level it, remove the remaining air, leave a margin of room for the sausage to swell, and tie the handles securely. Place in a clean bag, remove air, tie. Repeat the procedure with the third package. Each of the two pieces of minced meat should be packed in 3 bags.
Stage four - heat treatment. Pour cold water (up to half) into a large saucepan, lower the bags with minced meat, turn on low heat, cover with a lid. When the water boils, remove the lid, cook the sausage for 2 hours. When the product is ready, remove the cellophane and cool to room temperature.

We use any liver, I had chicken. You can also mold the sausage different ways, today I will show you how to make liver sausage at home in a bag and in cling film.
The taste is delicate, but at the same time very satisfying, in the morning for breakfast, use it for a sandwich. When my family tried the sausage, they said that the liver is very good, and the taste is much superior to the purchased one.

Preparation:
The list of spices can be expanded and your favorites can be added, except for pepper, I sometimes add either nutmeg or a little coriander. Everything is to your taste, we add what you like or leave such a minimal composition.
Rinse the liver well, if you use beef, peel off the film. We put it in a food processor or use a meat grinder.
Divide the fat into two equal parts. Add one part to the liver in the food processor, and cut the other into small cubes. It is imperative to cut off the skin, we do not need it. To cut the lard better, place it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
We make minced meat from lard and liver.
Add the second part of the bacon to the minced meat.
Further eggs, flour, starch, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and chopped garlic. Mix everything well. Try and add salt or pepper if necessary, or you might want to increase the amount of garlic to make your homemade liver sausage more flavorful.
Since we make homemade liver sausage without intestines, we will use ordinary plastic bags or cling film for this purpose. I'll show you how you can do it in two different ways.
First option... In a bag: divide the mass into two or three parts and put each in a bag. We try to squeeze out all the air, only leave a little on top, so that the distance from the liver mince to the top of the bag is about 1-2 cm, we tie the bag. We put the sausage in 2 more bags, do not forget to tie each one. And boil in this form.
Second option... In cling film: here we will mold it in the same way as we did, only we will make the liver sausage larger.
Spread the foil on a cutting board, spoon the mixture, stepping back 8-10 cm from the edge. Be careful not to put the liver mince on the foil, it is quite liquid and can "run away". About 5-6 tbsp.
Cover with foil and wrap like candy on both sides.
Do not twist too tightly and expel all the air, some air should remain, and the sausage itself will not be wrapped so tightly. About 5-6 layers are needed, no more is required, this is quite enough. Tie the edges with a thread.
I got 5 sausages. I sent two to the freezer, and boiled three at once.
You will need a large saucepan. This is necessary so that the sausage does not deform during cooking and remains flat. Pour in water, about half a saucepan, or even a little more. We put on the stove, as it boils, lower the sausage. Salt the water, otherwise it will take salt from the sausage and it will end up being undersalted.
I cooked for an hour over medium heat. The diameter of my sausage was about 5-6 cm. Then I took it out and cooled it down a little. I took off the film and tried it, it seemed to me that it was damp and its color was a little pink inside, so I boiled it for 30 minutes. What I want to say, nothing has changed, it was completely cooked in an hour. The pinkish tint completely disappeared when it cooled down and stood in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. If you want to play it safe, cook for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, this will be enough.
We cook the sausage in a bag according to the same principle, only if you divided it into two parts - cook for 2 hours, for three - 1.5 hours.
Increase the cooking time of frozen sausages by 15 minutes.
There is nothing difficult to prepare, the products are the simplest, but homemade liver sausage turns out to be incredibly tasty, try it yourself. You know the composition of such a sausage, and you should not worry about it. There are no thickeners or flavors! There is a recipe on the site, I recommend it, it is even easier to prepare and very tasty.
Bon Appetit!
