Cooking sausage in a mug
To prepare chicken sausage, we will use domestic chicken meat: breast, leg, thighs.
You need to cut off all the pulp from the seeds. You can then cook delicious chicken soup from the bones.
The meat needs to be chopped in a convenient way. Grind in a meat grinder and grind in a food processor. The finer the minced meat, the more homogeneous, softer and more tender the consistency of the sausage. The minced meat should have an almost pate-like state.
Transfer the minced meat into the bowl of a food processor. Here it will be further crushed and thoroughly mixed with the rest of the ingredients.
Pour salt, ground black pepper and ground nutmeg into a bowl, add one egg. Turn on the combine and grind.
Pour in milk or cream to give the minced meat a more liquid consistency and juiciness and add potato starch. Grind again.
The minced meat should be homogeneous, not thick. At this stage, you can add dried sweet peppers or small pieces of bell pepper, pieces of lard, olives, spices: cordamom, coriander to the minced meat. And if you add a few drops of beet juice, the minced meat will take on a pink tint. In general, you can experiment with additives endlessly.
Mugs or glasses need to be the same height, since the sausage will be cooked in a water bath. Lightly grease the mugs with any oil and fill them tightly with minced chicken. Do not fill the mugs to the very top.
Cover the mugs tightly with cling film folded in 2-3 layers.
Place a cloth folded 3-4 times into a cauldron or pan with a thick bottom and place the mugs on it.
Pour hot water into the cauldron so that it is slightly above the middle of the mugs. Turn on the stove and cook the sausage from the moment it boils for 40-45 minutes.
Carefully remove the mugs from the pan and let the sausage cool slightly in the mugs.
Easily shake the sausage out of the mugs.
