Dachshunds (Hot Dogs)

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 casing

2 ½ pounds ground round

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon ground mustard seed or 1 teaspoon legal Creole mustard

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon dried marjoram

2 tablespoons homemade onion powder -or- ¼ cup finely minced fresh yellow onion

¼ teaspoon homemade garlic powder -or- 1-2 fingers garlic, pressed

2 teaspoons honey

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 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[2]. 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 chicken

[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. Haven't kitchen tested an egg-free and dairy-free version.
