SAMBA SAUSAGES

This is a recipe from Steven Raichlen's "The Barbecue Bible" Here is what he states in the intro: This simple recipe is the perfect symbol of Brazil's sensuality and scintillating spirit. Grilled sausages are, of course, common currency among the world's street foods, but it's only in Brazil that street vendors take the time to make tiny slits in the sausages, fill them with minutely diced onions and bell peppers, and lovingly baste them with olive oil as they cook. The "grill" of the vendor who gave me his version was the charcoal-filled hubcap of an old car. Virtually any type of cooked sausage could be prepared this way. I've called for chorizos, but kielbasa, knockwurst, or even hot dogs would work well, too.

Steps:

Preheat the grill to medium-high.
Push a skewer lengthwise through each sausage. Make a series of diagonal parallel slits, 1/4 inch deep and 1/2 inch apart in one side of each sausage. Turn the sausage over and make a similar set of slits going the opposite direction.
Combine the onion, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl, then stuff some of the mixture into the slits in the sausages.
When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the sausages on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until lightly browned on all sides and heated through, turning as necessary, 5 to 8 minutes in all. As the sausages cook, drizzle oil over the slits.
Serve the sausages right on the skewers and eat them like Popsicles, with any remaining onion mixture.

Ingredients

4 chorizo sausages, cooked (store-bought or other cooked sausages, each 1 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches long)
1/2 small onion, minced very fine
1/2 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced very fine (or green)
2 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

Place the pork, Aleppo pepper, chili powder, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, cloves, and coriander into a bowl, and lightly toss the pork with the seasonings until thoroughly blended. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate the meat, your meat grinder's head assembly, and grinder hopper for 1 hour.
Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cubes, and place a smaller metal bowl in the ice cubes to catch the ground meat. Assemble the chilled meat grinder, and grind the pork and seasonings using a coarse cutting plate. Return ground meat to refrigerator for 30 minutes. Lightly stir the ground pork with the vinegar and water until thoroughly mixed, form into patties, and refrigerate overnight, covered, to let flavors develop.
Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and pan-fry the patties until browned and no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
