    I've made this sausage several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The anise and fennel seeds add a unique depth of flavor.

  • Chadrick Reichert

    The refrigeration time really makes a difference. Don't skip that step! The flavors are so much more pronounced after a day or two in the fridge.

  • Ruben Dickens

    This recipe is fantastic! The aroma while it's blending is intoxicating. I reduced the red pepper flakes slightly for my family, and it was a hit!
