How to Make Polish Sausage: Bob Borkowski Style (Episode 18)

preview_player
Показать описание
The Bob Borkowski style of Polish sausage is special for two reasons: its coarse grind (using a ½” grind plate) and its strong garlic flavor. In this video, we’ll show you how to make this sausage from start to finish, all in tribute to the Borkowski family.

Our Final Freezer keeps it about the food. We'll show you how to make simple, delicious, healthy (and often dairy-free and gluten-free) food -- always with a twist of humor.

Recipe for Polish Sausage Seasoning (per 10 pounds of meat)
2 cups of water
4 TB of restaurant-style, coarse ground black pepper
4 TB of salt
1 cup of granulated garlic powder


Main Steps for Making Polish Sausage

1. Cut the meat into slices that can fit in the meat grinder.
2. Place an aluminum pan next to the meat grinder to catch the ground meat.
3. Turn on the meat grinder and tighten the collar of the grinder, which holds the grinding plate in place.
4. Feed each slice through the meat grinder.
5. Measure out 10 pounds of ground meat into a separate aluminum pan.
6. In a mixing bowl, mix the water, ground pepper, granulated garlic powder, and salt.
7. Add the seasoning to the 10 pounds of meat. Scrape the bowl to be sure that you remove all seasoning.
8. Mix the sausage thoroughly from top to bottom and from side to side.
9. Clamp the sausage stuffer to the table. Place a towel under the stuffing tube to catch excess water.
10. Make sure that you have marks on your table to help you measure the sausage links later on.
11. Fill the stuffing tube with meat. Press down on the meat as you pack it to prevent air bubbles from forming in the sausage.
12. From a bowl of casing, thread a piece of rinsed sausage casing onto the stuffing tube. Before you start stuffing, be sure that all the casing is on the tube.
13. Slowly crank the handle of the sausage stuffer to push meat into the sausage casing. Use one hand to guide the sausage casing and one hand to crank the stuffer.
14. As you crank, segment the sausage to your preferences.

Awesome tribute to Bob. I worked at at a sports card shop in Dayton, Ohio in the late 80s and early 90s. Bob was a friend of the owner and i got to meet and talk with him many times, mostly about baseball. I did get to try the sausages and loved them. Every year, he would make a big batch and i was lucky enough to have them a few times.

I love how this man’s legacy lives on in his sausage. I too got a recipe for homemade sausage from an old German neighbour that I have been making for 26 years and counting. He passed many years ago ….

Thank you for this recipe !!! I recall, from when I was a child, my Auntie Anne, who was Russian, having cooked some sausage for supper and the sausage had chunks of meat in it. That was the only time I ever saw, or ate sausage that was made with chunks of meat - small chunks. My mother was Ukrainian & Polish, but she never made sausage with chunks of meat. Actually, only once did she make any sausage. Dad had butchered, and we ground up the meat needed with a hand grinder. No big deal. recently, I have been looking & looking for a basic recipe without all the chemical additives & also with meat cut into small chunks. Finally found one !!! Again, Thank You !!!! Very, very much appreciated ! 😃🤗🥰

Mr. Borkowski's story made me tear up. Glad he shared his knowledge with you. Getting my equipment next week. I'll give Mr. Borkowski's style a try. Thanks again Sir.

Being an impatient jerk, I usually hate cooking videos that take forever to get to the point, but this story is amazing. Thank you for your persistance in the pursuit of sausage. Honestly, I can see it as a movie, with the MLB back story and i'm guessing military service?...The sausage must be made again! In honor of his wife and family tradition.... Thanks for making this. I was the 1000th like! (yes, I'm drunk!)

I’m 30 minutes from grinding and casing my first kielbasa. Want to make some for my 91 year old babushka for the holidays.

I was looking for some last minute tips and I really appreciate your videos. Definitely teared up with Bob’s story. I’m sure he appreciated the opportunity to pass on the recipe and tradition.

Thank you for the video. My neighbor when I was a kid, his last name was Borkowski too. I love making homemade Polish sausage, the only thing is I dry mine for a couple days or so. I also use fresh garlic. Even though it’s a little bit of a chore to chop & grind it up. I also add a little marjoram.

What a precious gift he gave your family. And while he mourned the loss of his wife who he so enjoyed making this with, I bet it gave him great pleasure to know that their tradition was respected & being carried on for generations of your family to come. And with all of us. Much respect

We did this yearly on our multi family ranch when we butchered hogs we made it all, bacon, hams etc. I have done this as an adult with my brother. We knew basically the same recipe as German garlic sausage. Then we cold smoked it after. It is wonderful!
