Cook safely

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. The salsicce alla cipollata are prepared with fresh and lean pork meat and bacon in equal quantity, chopped fine and seasoned with salt, pepper and spices.
  2. Add a proportional quantity of onions chopped very fine, not too much, however.
  3. Fill with the hash the prepared entrails, tie every two inches to divide the sausages.
