Ingredients
- 1000 grams lean beef (such as top round or sirloin)
- 125 grams lean lamb
- 5 grams white pepper
- 10 grams coriander seeds
- 2 grams nutmeg
- 1 gram clove
- 12 grams salt
- 300 centimeters beef collagen casings
Directions
Step 1
Cut the beef and lamb into small cubes about 1 inch in size to prepare them for grinding.
Step 2
Chill the meat in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before grinding to ensure better texture.
Step 3
Grind the meat through a coarse setting in your meat grinder.
Step 4
In a small dry pan, toast the coriander seeds over medium heat until fragrant. Allow them to cool and then grind them into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, ground coriander, white pepper, nutmeg, clove, and salt.
Step 6
Mix the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat mixture. You can use your hands for a better mix.
Step 7
Stuff the meat mixture into the beef collagen casings using a sausage stuffer. Twist the sausages to form links about 4 inches long and ensure they are tightly packed to avoid air pockets.
Step 8
Hang the sausages in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place or use a dehydrator set at a temperature of about 70°F to dry the sausages. This process may take 2-4 days depending on humidity and air circulation. The droewors should be dry and firm but not overly hard.
Step 9
Once the droewors are dry to your preference, they can be stored in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags for extended shelf life.
Step 10
Enjoy your Whole30 Droewors as a high-protein snack or part of a nutritious meal.
