Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sugar'], recipe: combine fennel, thyme, pepper and salt in a mortar and grind well but do not reduce to powder. add the garlic. combine this seasoning mixture, wine, meat and fat in a large bowl, and refrigerate, covered, for several hours or overnight. pass the cold mixture through a meat grinder with the coarsest disc inserted. attach the sausage funnel, gather the prepared casing onto it, and pass the ground mixture through the course disc again, filling the casing as you go. alternately, divide the mixture into batches and quickly grind in a food processor, being careful not to grind too fine. when all the batches are ground, knead them together in the bowl, then begin forcing through a large funnel into prepared casing.

Target recipe: prick sausage all over. put sausage into large pot, cover with cold water, and simmer for 10 minutes to extract excess grease. this can be done the night before. in 6-quart oval crockpot layer half the sausage and half of each other ingredient. repeat. cook on high for 3 hours then on low for 3-4 hours. serve over favorite pasta (i used bowties tonight), topped with parmesan. its low-carb if you control the pasta quantities.
