Peppered Seafood Sausage
- 1 pound fish fillets
- 1/2 pound shrimp
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 4 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cumin ground
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
- Cut the fish into long strips; the shrimp and scallops can remain whole.
- Put the seafood, jalapenos and cilantro through a coarse blade of a meat grinder.
- Combine the ground seafood with the egg whites, lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Rinse the hog casing in cold water by letting the water run from the tap directly through it.
- Gather the casing up onto the sauce stuffing funnel attachment on your meat grinder.
- Put the seafood mixture back in the grinder and begin to grind it through.
- When it begins to emerge from the funnel, tie the end of the casing in a knot, leaving 3 inches of it unfilled for expansion room.
- Grind the mixture out, taking care not to overstuff the length of sausage; it should be about 1 inch wide.
- If necessary, squeeze it gently with your hands to make this width as you work.
- Continue with the entire length; you will have about 4 feet of sausage.
- Remove the funnel and use your finger to press out the last remaining seafood mixture.
- Leave 3 inches for expansion and tie the end in a knot.
- Shape to make it even.
- Coil it into a spiral and set it aside.
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large heavy skillet with a lid.
- Reduce the heat so that the water barely quivers.
- Prick the sausage with a sharp knife pint at 3-inch intervals.
- Place it in the barely moving water, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the sausage rest for 10 minutes before serving.
