Essential Sausage Making 

Essential Sausage Making

 Join Eugene Meat Collective and local chef Mark Kosmicki and co-owner of Party Downtown to learn the art of handmade sausage-- from classic to gourmet-- and why it is often so much more flavorful and delicious than its grocery-store counterpart. Come learn the skill of preparing, emulsified sausages like the real Frankfurter and Mortadella as well as Chaurice and many other varieties. Using wholesome, pastured raised meats from Willamette valley farms, this hands-on, experiential class will reveal how to select the right meat and trimmings from the appropriate muscle groups, how to get the ideal meat-fat ratio, and how to grind, flavor, and stuff your sausage of choice. After learning together, we’ll shed our aprons and gather around the farm table for a light meal featuring our freshly crafted sausages, with local and hand made wines. PLUS! You will go home with roughly 5 lbs. of links for your frying pans and freezers, and recipes. A hands-on event perfect for hunters, people with special food needs, aspiring butchers or chefs wanting to learn the craft, and of course, sausage lovers. No experience required.
