Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds boneless venison, cut into 1” pieces
  • 3/4 pounds pork fat, cut into 1”pieces
  • 1 pound pork or venison liver, cut into 1" pieces
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onions
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 poblano peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 4 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1 cup chopped green onions tops, (green part only)
  • 6 cups cooked medium-grain rice
  • hog casings

Instructions

  • In a pot, combine the venison, pork fat, liver, onion, poblano, garlic, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, oregano and the water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove from the heat and drain all but 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid. Reserve the liquid for later.
  • Setup a meat grinder with a 1/4 inch die and grind the venison mixture, 1/2 cup of the green onions and 1/2 cup of the parsley.
  • Add the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the seasoning, rice, parsley and green onions. 1/2 cup at a time, add the remaining cooking liquid to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Stuff the sausage into the casings making links between 3 to 6 inches in length.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a slow simmer. Add the sausages and poach for about 5 minutes or until they are plump and have firmed up. (You can also bake, grill or smoke the sausages instead of poaching)
  • For added flavor, you can dry the sausages off and brown them in a pan with a little oil or serve them as is.
