Instructions
  1. Wash meats in cold water, soak any salted meats for 2-3 hrs in cold running water.
  2. Poach meats (except liver and skwarki *) in small amount of water: skins at 95° C (203° F); jowls at 80-85° C (176-185° F) until semi-soft; other meats at 80-85° C (176-185° F) until soft. Save the meat stock. After poaching remove gristle from lungs and meat from heads. Spread meats apart on a flat surface to cool.
  3. Boil buckwheat grouts (1.5 kg) in 2.7-3.0 liters of left over meat stock or water. Boil grouts for ½ hr continuously stirring. After boiling leave for ½-1 hr covered.
  4. Soak skwarki * in stock using 25% of stock in relation to the weight of skwarki.
  5. Grind all meats, liver, skwarki * and onion through 3 mm plate.
  6. Add salt and spices to ground meats, mix buckwheat grouts with blood, add stock fat and then mix everything well together.
  7. Stuffing materials: hog casings 32-36 mm, butcher’s twine. Stuff casings loosely into 18-20 cm (17-18”) long links. Tie the ends with twine.
  8. Immerse sausages in boiling water and poach at 85° C (185° F) for about 15-20 min.
  9. Immerse sausages for 15 min in cold water (about 5° C, 41° F) then divide them into pairs. Cool them down to below 6° C (43° F). If no suitable cooling conditions are available, arrangements need to be made to bring the temperature to 12° C (53° F) or less.
Notes

Meats should be neither salted nor cured.

* Skwarki is the byproduct of rendering pork fat. They are solid light brown cracklings which remain after the fat was filtered. They are usually made from back fat.

*Lungs might be hard to obtain. Replace with pork meat.
