Dachshunds (Hot Dogs) [an LSCDL Recipe]Given the number of times my Dachshunds have been referred to as “weenie dogs” over the years, how could I resist?

3-4 feet large collagen casing2 ½ pounds ground round1 teaspoon ground coriander1 teaspoon paprika½ teaspoon ground mustard seed or 1 teaspoon Creole mustard¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

2 tablespoons onion powder -or- ¼ cup finely minced fresh yellow onion¼ teaspoon garlic powder -or- 1-2 fingers garlic, pressed 2 teaspoons honey1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon white pepper1 egg Whirl dry spices in a blender to fully combine (or mix well with a whisk in a bowl), then add to the meat. If onion and garlic are not dry, add them. Mix well. When you think you have it mixed, keep mixing.

 Add the egg[1]. Mix well again.  Stuff mixture into the casings according to the directions for your stuffer. (I use an inexpensive jerky shooter for this.) Prick air pockets and twist off in 6-8 inch links. If separate sausages are desired, tie off each link with a piece of string, then cut between the two links. Otherwise, do not cut apart.

 If you do not have a stuffer, form hot dog sized pieces of mixture and wrap well in foil for baking. If hot dogs are in cases, boil in gently simmering water for about 20 minutes. Otherwise, bake at 215°F for about 45 minutes. Serve. Or, allow to cool, and then freeze for later reheating.

 Variations:·        Use half beef and half pork·        Substitute mace for nutmeg·        Use ground turkey or chickenAdapted from Home Sausage Making, by Mahnke Peery and G. Reavis.

[1] Several recipes call for 1 egg white and ¼ cup SCD illegal milk. I use a whole egg. You could also use the egg yolk, 2 tablespoons water, and 2 tablespoons yogurt cheese. For an egg-free version, substitute ¼ - cup peeled, cooked, puréed vegetable, such as zucchini (courgettes). For a dairy-free version, simply omit the yogurt cheese.
