    Deliciously Easy Homemade Hungarian Kolbasz (pork sausage)

    March 26, 2015 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat, Pork

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Hungarian Kolbasz is a simple homemade pork sausage spiced with garlic. paprika and allspice. 

    Hungarian Kolbasz is a pork sausage loaded with paprika and garlic and allspice. The word looks very similar to Kielbasa that most people are more familiar with or Kovabaca in Ukranian. Each region of Eastern Europe has their own version with a slightly different spelling and spice combination.

    This recipe is from my husband's grandfather. And it is marvelous!

    Two quick notes on the ingredients.

    • Use a ratio of at least 20% fat to 80% meat (30-70 is better). Sausage needs fat or it is a dry crumbly mess.
    • For authentic taste, use Hungarian paprika. Not smoked or Spanish paprika. Yes, there is a taste difference.

    I didn't stuff these into casings, though they should be. I didn't have any so I just used a trick I found online to get the shape. It doesn't have the juicy bite that sausage in a casing will have, but it still worked for what I planned on using it for, which was grilling. And don't tell my brother, but I used this in the Red Beans and Rice this year - yum!

    Ingredients
     

    • 10 pounds coarse ground pork butt or pork shoulder
    • 2 cups ice cold water
    • ⅓ cup mild Hungarian Paprika
    • 5 tablespoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons ground allspice
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 5-6 cloves garlic
    • ½ tablespoon corase ground pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Double grind pork through medium fine plates.
    • Blend remaining ingredients in a blender, blend on low 30-60 seconds.
    • Mix spices with ground pork until thoroughly blended (several minutes).
    • Use as a loose sausage or stuff into casings. Refrigerate overnight. Cook as desired.

    Notes

    An alternative to casings is to shape into sausage form and tightly wrap in plastic wrap. Cook in water that is just below boiling for about 5 minutes. Remove sausage from plastic wrap and cook as you would with casings.

    Until next time, happy eating.

      Now I wonder why they don't use hog casings. That is what we have used with our sausages and it seems to be common in commercial varieties.
