Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground Chicken
- 250 grams Ground Pork
- 1 large Sweet Potato
- 4 pieces Garlic Cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
- 10 pieces Collagen Casings or Sausage Skins (Paleo-friendly)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling and cutting the sweet potato into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken and ground pork. Mix them together thoroughly with your hands.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the boiled sweet potato, garlic cloves, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato and spice mixture to the bowl of meat. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the meat and sweet potato mixture, stirring until it is fully incorporated.
Step 6
Take the collagen casings and soak them in warm water as per the package instructions to make them flexible.
Step 7
Fill the casings with the meat mixture using a sausage stuffer or a piping bag, being careful not to overfill to avoid bursting.
Step 8
Once all the sausages are filled, twist the casings at regular intervals to make individual sausages, tying off the ends securely.
Step 9
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the sausages for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
Step 10
Serve the sausages hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
