Funzionalità Premium
Italian sausage is characterized by a savory and often subtly sweet flavor profile, balanced with aromatic spices.
The primary flavor components come from ground pork, typically seasoned with fennel seeds, garlic, salt, black pepper, and often anise. Sweet Italian sausage includes a touch of sugar or other sweetener. Hot Italian sausage incorporates red pepper flakes or other chili peppers for added heat. The grilling process imparts a smoky char, enhancing the overall taste.
Funzionalità Premium
Proper Temperature
Grill over medium heat to ensure the sausage cooks evenly without burning the outside. Using a meat thermometer is ideal; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Avoid Pricking
Resist the urge to prick the sausage casing while grilling. Pricking releases juices, resulting in a drier sausage.
Even Cooking
Turn the sausages frequently to ensure even cooking on all sides.
Resting
Let the sausage rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender sausage.
