Homemade Spicy Sausage

We've seen a lot of great recipes lately calling for sweet or spicy sausage, and unfortunately, we couldn't find any without sugar or preservatives, so we decided to take it on ourselves.  We've almost run out of it so far, but there have been several great applications--those recipes will come later in the week.


Here's what went into the sausage:

• 2 lb pork (we used the stew meat pork cut from the super market)
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp fresh dill
• 1 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp coconut vinegar
• 1 roasted jalapeño pepper, diced

Using our ninja, we pulsed the pork with the ingredients until it was well mixed.  After grinding it, we then let it sit for two hours before cooking with it so that the flavors all melded and settled.  This has unbelievable potential, and we hope you add it to your next meal.
