Currently, fewer housewives are buying sausages in stores, preferring to make this product on their own. And this is not surprising, because those days have passed when these meat products contained exclusively natural ingredients and were not only tasty, but also healthy.

I propose to cook boiled pork sausage, the product will ultimately turn out to be very tender. If you do not have pork, then it can be replaced with beef or fillet of chicken, turkey.
You will need:
- one kilogram of pork;
- 300 grams of fat;
- two onions;
- two cloves of garlic;
- one egg (raw);
- a tablespoon of gelatin;
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper (ground black);
- a tablespoon of nutmeg;
- a tablespoon of salt;
- a tablespoon of semolina;
- a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Rinse the meat thoroughly, remove the veins and films, and then cut it into small pieces. Peel the onion and garlic, rinse. Put the meat, lard, onion and garlic in a blender and chop everything (in the end, you should get a creamy mass).
Add the egg to the minced pork and beat. After whipping, put gelatin, nutmeg, pepper, semolina, oil and salt in the minced meat. Mix everything again so that all the spices are distributed in the minced meat.
Take a regular baking bag or sleeve, place the minced meat tightly in it, roll it up with a small roll and tie the resulting sausage with twine in several places. Tightening is necessary quite strongly.
Put a pot of water on the fire, as soon as the water boils, place a bag of minced meat in it and cook for two hours over low heat. It is worth noting that the water in the pan must completely cover the package with minced meat, only in this case the sausage will boil properly.
After the time has passed, remove the bag of sausage from the water, let it cool at room temperature, and then place it for five hours in the refrigerator. Cooked sausage is ready.
Tip: in order for the finished sausage to have a pleasant pink color, when mixing the minced meat, it is necessary to add a little natural dye in the form of beet juice and fix it with a couple of spoons of alcohol (cognac).
