Schweinebauch

[CaseT]

es that's right, never heard of it? Well it's a thing. Sold at a Edelweiss Sausage in Portland Oregon. So what is it? Sausage stuffed bacon. They use their house Bologna.

I am using a modified version of this as the stuffing. I added Spanish olives, and omitted the pistachios. I also added the full amount of cure since I am smoking this.

For the bacon I saved a half slab of belly when I did this bacon a while back.

The belly looked a bit big, so I lopped off a chunk for breakfast

Turn the slab into a meat pita pocket

Stuff with sausage:

Smoke! The muslin chubs are the rest of the sausage (made 5 pounds, used one to stuff the belly).

I used my typical method for smoking sausage. started out at 130° for one hour, no smoke. Added smoke and bumped the temp up 10°. Add 10° every hour until the smoker temp reaches 180°. Pull the sausage off with an IT of 156°. I used cherry pellets for smoke.

Sliced shots of the chubs will have to wait until tomorrow.

Nice work, Case. I try and hit Edelweiss every time I'm up in Portland. I get a couple of pounds of lunch meat, portion it out and throw it in the freezer. Your Schweinebauch looks pretty dang good!

Thank you Brian. It's a fun shop to visit. Check out Otto's Sausage Kitchen next time you make a trip to PDX. Good stuff!

That's a really unique cook. Thanks for sharing. I've never seen this.

Thanks for the link to the mortadella. If I had all those spices, I'd play with that this weekend.

Thank you!

It's very tasty even without the bacon casing. I was a little heavy handed with the peppercorns. I should've used a few less. Oh well it's still good!

You can always flick them out Nicely done Case! And congrats for getting the nipples on your tire worn down. Note...worn down, not off....better get back on your bad motoscooter and ride

Thanks Chuck!

Yep I've been picking a few out! Sometimes they hide out in the thick slices! Probably would be fine if I had a slicer and could get them cut thinner!

Yeah it's been a long winter with not much riding. I did go out right before I sliced and packed these. Put a quick, chilly 60 miles on the bike. Should've worn my long johns!
