Tuscan Sausage made from pork mince, especially from a reputable source like Macelleria Belli, is a traditional Italian product known for its rich flavour and quality ingredients. This sausage is often characterized by its seasoning and preparation methods that reflect the culinary traditions of Tuscany.

Key Characteristics:

  1. Flavour Profile: Tuscan sausage typically has a robust, savoury flavour, often seasoned with herbs such as fennel, garlic, and black pepper. The blend of spices can vary by recipe, but the aim is to enhance the natural sweetness of the pork.
  2. Production: At a quality butcher like Macelleria Belli, pork is sourced from local farms, ensuring freshness. The meat is minced and combined with a careful mix of spices before being stuffed into natural casings. Traditional methods emphasize craftsmanship, often involving a small-batch production process.
  3. Texture: The texture of Tuscan sausage is coarse and hearty, reflecting the rustic style of traditional Italian sausages. This coarseness allows for a satisfying bite and helps retain moisture during cooking.
  4. Culinary Uses: Tuscan sausage is versatile in cooking. It can be grilled, pan-fried, or used as an ingredient in pasta dishes, stews, or on pizza. It is often enjoyed with sides like sautéed greens or in sandwiches, pairing well with crusty bread.
  5. Cultural Significance: Sausages are integral to Tuscan cuisine, often featured in festive meals and family gatherings. The region’s emphasis on high-quality meats and fresh herbs is evident in their sausage-making traditions.

Tuscan Ragout

Pork ragout is a thick and restricted sauce made from minced pork. Pork ragout is a recipe to share, perfect for seasoning dry pasta or polenta on cold winter Sundays. Use it with egg tagliatelle, or simply for homemade or season with conchiglioni pasta. if you don’t like the usual polenta, use buckwheat or white corn polenta. The original recipe of the Tuscan ragout is prepared with a mix of minced beef, pork and sausage and cooked slowly as the grandparents did.In Tuscany, ragu’ is made in a different way compared to other Italian regions. If you add that every family has its own recipe, you will understand that it is not easy to provide an original recipe for Tuscan meat sauce, but all recipes have a secret.The use of our sausages, so tasty and fragrant, gives the Tuscan ragù an extra touch. The secret of the Tuscan meat sauce is also its slow cooking, a gentle flame cooking for hours, until the tomato shrinks almost completely and,  Instead of peeled tomatoes, someone uses preserves, a couple of spoons dissolved in a cup of water.

Ingredients and Method:

·         2 carrots

·         1 large or 2 medium red onion

·         1 stick of celery

·         2 garlic cloves

·         600g ground beef

·         400g minced pork

·         200g of chicken livers or 3 sausages

·         3 bay leaves (or rosemary)

·         3 glasses red wine

·         1 kg peeled tomatoes

·         Salt and pepper

·         Extra Virgin Olive to taste

Method:

Wash the herbs and remove the threads from the celery. Chop the vegetables in a blender together with the onions and garlic.

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, fry the herbs in the oil and let them fry well over medium heat. Mix the minced meat with the livers or sausages without skins and add them to the sautéed mixture in small handfuls, cooking over high heat.

Stir until it sticks to the bottom and continue until the ground is browned. Browning is essential, it must be nicely browned. Now add the wine little by little and let it evaporate. Salt and pepper.

When the wine has evaporated, add the roughly blended peeled tomatoes, pouring them a little at a time. Rinse the jars with a little water and add this “diluted tomato” to the ragù.

Add the bay leaf.Leave to cook for ¾ of an hour over medium heat, leaving the pan uncovered to allow the ragù to shrink, then move the pan onto the smaller burner and cook covered for at least 2 hours over low heat.

Buon Appetito!
