Ingredients:

1kg coarsely-minced pork with fat
100g sea salt
40g crushed black peppercorns
40g crushed coriander seeds
5 garlic cloves, minced
5 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
sausage skins, for filling

Method:

In a bowl, thoroughly mix the minced pork with the salt, ensuring that the salt has been evenly dispersed through the meat. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly once more then cover the bowl and set aside for 30 minutes for the flavours to infuse.

Attach the sausage skins to a sausage machine then feed in the pork and spice mix and carefully fill the skins. Tie the sausages at about 10cm apart to make links.

Though the sausages can be frozen like this, they are traditionally dried before use. To dry them, prick all over with fine pins then hang in the coolest part of the house for 2 to 4 days to dry.
