Hot Dracula Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Place the ground pork into a large bowl. Season with salt, garlic salt, black pepper and paprika. In a blender or food processor, blend together the oil, anise seed, fennel seed and red pepper flakes. Mix everything into the ground pork until well blended. Refrigerate for 24 hours to let flavors blend. Bag and freeze in portions that suit your needs.

Steps:

• Roast garlic heads in 350 degree oven, wrapped in foil, for one hour.
• Separate cloves and squeeze to extract garlic pulp.
• Discard skins.
• Cook sausage in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble.
• Rinse in colander to remove excess fat.
• Place in large bowl and stir in sage and rosemary.
• Melt butter in saucepan.
• Add flour, stirring with a whisk.
• Gradually add the milk; cook until slightly thick, stirring constantly with the whisk (about 10 minutes.) Stir in roasted garlic, cheeses, salt and pepper until just melted.
• Remove from heat.
• Mix with cooked pasta and either spoon into greased one 13X9 or two 8X8 pans (cover with foil and freeze up to 3 months).
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Over medium heat, warm the milk and 4 tablespoons of the butter until the milk is just beginning to steam, but is not boiling, and the butter is melted. Remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Pour in the warm milk mixture and stir until a sticky dough has formed. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the oil and egg yolks. Pour the eggs into the flour mixture and blend until fully incorporated. Slowly stir in enough of the remaining 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour until the dough comes together and is soft but not sticky. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide into 8 even-size pieces. In your hands, roll the pieces of dough into balls and then flatten them into disks 4 inches in diameter. In the center of each piece of dough, place 1/2 tablespoon of the cheddar cheese, 2 slices of jalapeño, and a piece of sausage. Fold one side of the dough over the other and roll, then seal by pinching on all sides. Place on the baking sheet 1 inch apart, seam side down. Cover and allow to rise for 45 more minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Brush the tops of the klobasneks with half the melted butter. Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly browned. After you remove them from the oven, brush each klobasnek with the remaining melted butter. Serve warm. They are best on the day they are made, but they can be tightly wrapped and then reheated, up to 2 days after baking. They can also be frozen.

Steps:

• Mix all the dry spices together. Add spice mix to freshly ground pork (course grind) along with the minced garlic and chilled wine. Loosly mix with your hands. Run again through the grinder again (course grind). Fry up a small handful and taste, adjust your spices as you desire. Chill for 1 hour then stuff your casings.
