Sobrassada sausage sliced

Sobrassada

Sobrassada is a traditional Mallorcan sausage, an iconic dish of the Balearic Islands' gastronomy. The cured sausage is made with sweet and hot paprika, giving the dish a rich color and flavor. Sobrassada making is a centuries-old tradition, often carried out in winter during pig slaughtering season. During curing, the sausage slowly acquires its characteristic texture and flavor, perfect with fresh bread, tapas, or even for flavoring cooked dishes.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the ingredients: have the pork and lard ground, then crush the garlic.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, lard, sweet paprika, hot paprika, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. Knead thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.

    3

    Soak the pork sausage casing in warm water to make it pliable, then stuff it with the meat mixture. Ensure no air bubbles remain, and the casing is evenly filled.

    4

    Tie knots at the ends of the casing, then cure the sobrassada in a well-ventilated, dry place for 3-4 weeks. Check regularly during curing.

    After curing, slice and serve with fresh bread or as part of tapas.
