Ingredients
Required Spices:
- Three tablespoons of smoked paprika
- One teaspoon of chili flakes
- One teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Five garlic cloves
Other Ingredients Needed:
- 2 1/2 pounds of pork shoulder
- Seven ounces of pork back fat

Other Things Required:

- Cover the bowl with cling film and keep aside for about 30 minutes.
- Next, get the hog casing that has been soaked in water for 30 minutes and rinse them really well with clean water.
- Then, attach a medium stuffing funnel to the mincer and thread the hog casing into the funnel. Cut the casing once you thread it to the preferred length.
- Stuff a decent amount of sausage mixture into the mincer and start passing it through the mincer into the casing.
- Stop as you reach the end and fasten off the end of the casing.
- Continue sending the sausage mixture through the funnel, supporting the sausage with your other hand.
- Once done with it, tie off the other end of the casing.
- Then twist sausages into links of the preferred length rotating the direction of spin with each connection.
