Description

Our original, 100% all-natural hot Italian style sausage. With freshly ground fennel seeds, hot crushed paprika, all natural spices and sea salt. The pork comes from the El Paso family farm, 100% real free-range and naturally raised pork from Hokkaido, Japan.

We use the whole ham (leg) and natural spices only, minimally processed, without the use of hormones, subtherapeutic antibiotics, preservatives, additives, gluten, lactose, MSG, fillers, enhancers, sugar or any artificial ingredients or nasties, just family farm produced, ethically raised pork and top quality natural spices. Hands down, this might be the cleanest sausage available.

The spices add a moderate hotness to this sausage. We tried to keep it as close as possible to the American style hot Italian sausage found almost anywhere in the States. It won't make you blow steam out of your ears but will certainly increase your body temperature.

One sausage weighs 80g (2.8 oz.) - you get 3 per pack. That's a healthy portion size. Freshly prepared and blast frozen. They come raw and uncooked. You can simmer them in their packaging for 10-15 minutes before finishing them off in the fry-pan or grill for a crispy gold-brown skin. Goes well for any occasion, breakfast, BBQ, lunch or dinner. Exclusively at Horizon Farms.

Happy as a pig in mud. Bathing in the nearby river during summer and playing around on the snow fields in winter - that's the happy life of the pigs on the family-owned El Paso Ranch in Hokkaido that are raised completely free-range in the Tokachi area. And when we say free range we mean the real deal free-range. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - 24 hours, all year free roaming on 30 hectares (75 acres) of land. The pigs are a slow and naturally grown British Camborough breed. They are fed large variety of feed mixes that contain all kind of grains, corn, soybeans and other vegetables and farm produce (pigs can’t survive only on grass). Newborn stay in a shelter together with their mother until they learn how to take care of themselves. No tail clipping of piglets, no gestation crates for sows. No factory farming. They receive all the respect, love and care. See for yourself.

Instructions & Cooking Tips

hot italian sausages raw

Thaw in the fridge overnight. The sausages come freshly made and raw. Fry pan or skillet works best although you can sous-vide them in the packaging for 45 min at 70 degrees Celcius (160 degrees Fahrenheit) or let them simmer in beer for 10 minutes before finishing them off in the frypan on high heat.

For the images we cooked the sausages straight on the hot plate. Using a bit of olive oil. Nice and slowly. Pork meat has to be thoroughly cooked - there is no medium rare. You can use to cover to accelerate the cooking process and avoid an oily mess. Make sure to actually make the skin crispy dark brown.

Cook nice and slow until slightly firm to the touch. The sausage will have a nice round shape once they're cooked. Let them rest for a couple of minutes for the juices to settle. Cutting or biting straight into the sausage will make all the juices flow out.
