Instructions
Soak the ox bung in cold water for 1 hour, then rinse well
inside and out. Thread onto the sausage nozzle, put it onto a plate and
keep in the refrigerator.
In a saucepan, bring the wine to a gentle simmer and then add the
coriander, cinnamon and mace. Continue to simmer for a further 20
minutes, until well reduced. Set aside until completely cooled.
Add the kwikurit and gelatine to the chilled water, mixing thoroughly to ensure all is dissolved. Set aside.
Dice the pork back fat into roughly 10 mm pieces and place in the refrigerator.
Mince the pork meat through a 10 mm mincer plate into a large bowl or
tub. Sprinkle the salt and milk powder over the meat and massage gently
through. Add the wine and spices after it has cooled, then the chilled
water with dissolved gelatine and kwikurit . Blend thoroughly to ensure
that all ingredients have been evenly distributed, then mince the whole
mixture again through a 6 mm mincer plate.
Evenly distribute the diced fat and pepperberries over the sausage
meat and mix carefully, making sure the fat doesn’t get too broken up
and squashed. When the mixing the meat and fat, ensure that the meat
temperature is kept very low to avoid fat softening. Once mixed, place
in a container and cover. Make sure there are no air pockets. Place in
the refrigerator and chill for 6–7 hours.
Set up and sanitise the sausage cannon. Fill the bowl of the cannon
with the forcemeat. Be careful not to leave any air pockets in the
mixture, as this will create air pockets in the sausages and you don’t
want that. Attach the nozzle to the end of the sausage cannon.
Remove the mixture from the fridge. Start to pump the mixture out the
end of the nozzle before you tie off the end (this will also stop air
pockets from forming.) Slowly start to crank the cannon and fill the
sausage.
Guide the casing out of the cannon as it fills, using your whole
hand, onto a clear sterilised work surface. Once it has reached the
desired length, stop and tie off the end. Repeat the process until you
finish the mixture.
Place the sausage into the smoker after the temperature has reached
about 49°C. Smoke heavily, raising the temperature gradually to about
77°C, and hold until the mortadella reaches about 65°C (this can take up
to 3–3½ hours). Test with a digital thermometer.
Place mortadella in a fridge for 12 hours or more before eating as beautiful thin slices.
Note
• Sausage casings and curing compounds can
be bought at specialist home butchering and sausage-making suppliers,
with many offering an online service. Tasmanian pepperberries can be
replaced with a mixture of whole black peppercorns and a little ground
white pepper.
