I want to make my own sausages at home

[SixImpossible]

Non-pork, dairy-free, and coeliac- and low-carb-friendly.

Can anyone recommend any recipes? I've found plenty on-line, but they all seem to be aimed at people who want to make in bulk. It's a bit tricky to convert recipes that call for 10lb of meat with seasonings in teaspoon quantities!

Also, any tips in general?

Admittedly 10lbs of meat (probably running up towards 12-13lbs finished sausage) is a lot for an untried recipe that you might not like, but if the recipe is tested, what is wrong with making a big batch like that and then freezing them?

Make up a smaller recipe and fry the meat patty to check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

How do you do this? Do you have a special machine?

Baby Rice makes a great alternative to the traditional breadcrumbs... Lamb sausages are lovely. I made some chicken 'sausages' once, no real recipe, just minced some thighs, added the baby rice and seasoned the meat. Frying a pinch to check the seasoning is a good idea until you get to know what you want...

Frying a little first to check is an excellent idea. That way I can use the online recipes as guidelines, rather than try to convert them.

Thanks for the tip about baby rice - I never thought I'd be buying it again!

The mincer attachment for my Kenwood Chef includes special nozzles for extruding sausages. It's fairly easy to use (and incredibly rudely amusing).
