   Około 30 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Keeping everything very cold prevents fat from smearing and ensures a better texture.

2. 2

   Grind the veal through the fine die of a meat grinder into a chilled mixing bowl.

   Około 5 min

3. 3

   Grind the pork fatback through the fine die of a meat grinder into the same bowl as the veal.

   Około 5 min

4. 4

   Add the salt, white pepper, ground mace, ground ginger, ground cardamom, minced onion, chopped parsley, and lemon zest to the ground meat and fat.

5. 5

   Begin mixing the ingredients by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, gradually adding the ice water until the mixture becomes cohesive and sticky.

7. 7

   Carefully feed the soaked pork casing onto the stuffing horn, leaving a small tail at the end.

   Około 2 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure the casing is free of tangles and air pockets.

8. 8

   Begin stuffing the sausage mixture into the casing, being careful not to overfill or leave large air pockets.

   Once the casing is filled, twist the sausage into individual links, approximately 10-12 cm long.

   Około 5 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Alternate the direction of twisting for each link to secure them.

10. 10

    Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer (around 80-85°C / 175-185°F). The water should not boil.

    Około 5 min
