Hickory Smoked Pepperoni Sticks Recipe
Pepperoni is a type of sausage traditionally made from finely ground cured pork & beef that is lightly smoked. It is stuffed in thin collagen casing and gets its characteristic red colour from: paprika & cayenne, and the curing reaction of sodium nitrite.
Ingredients
2 Lbs pork shoulder
0.84 Lbs beef (I used stew cuts)
36 G salt
3.2 G Cure #2
2.5 G Dextrose 0.2%
4 G sugar
8 G paprika
3 G cayenne
3 G anise seeds
2 G fennel seeds
0.8 G Mondostart 2 M culture
Preparation
Cube and then finely grind pork & beef together.
Weight out the remaining ingredients and mix them together.
Mix together with meat until well combined (2-3 minutes in a stand mixer on low speed should do the trick).
Stuff into collagen casings.
Ferment at 71°F for 72 hours, 85-90% humidity.
Cold smoke for 8 hours with hickory bisquettes.
Dry at 54-6 0F, 80-85% humidity, for 5-7 weeks (dry until you observe a weight loss of 30%).
Store in a cool dry place (less than 60°F).
Hickory
Wood
The strong and sweet flavor of Hickory Bisquettes make it one of the more popular woods for smoking, and especially pairs well with poultry, beef, pork, game, water fowl, nuts, and cheese.
