Olive oil in sausage

[savagefan]

Has anyone tried to substitute some of the pork fat in their sausage recipe with olive oil? If so how was it?

It'll change the taste, texture and size of the sausage.

There are some things that just can't be messed with, and sausage with pork fat, lots of pork fat, is one of them.

If people realized how much fat and water goes into sausage, they prolly wouldn't eat them. I worked for a time in a sausage making place, so I got to try different ways. The water came in the form of crushed ice, which was used to congele the meat before stuffing and make it easier to stuff, and to add weight as well.

I've tried to make "lean" sausages and they looked like cat turds when cooked and didn't taste much better. YUK :!:

Right now it's Octoberfest in Kitchener/Waterloo Ont and they chowing down tons of great German sausage just filled with pork fat.

Ein Prosit! :mrgreen:

When cooking moose hamburgers I will always add oil, sometimes olive oil.

When I cook a moose steak I always use olive oil and Monteal Steak spice to marenade for a few hours or days.

Never tryed to add it to sausages but pork hamberger works ok.

I wouldn't use olive oil in sausages, althogh I cook with it regularly.

Even the Italians don't use olive oil when they make Italian sausages....

Olive oil could also go rancid if you attempt to dry cure the sausages.
