First of all, soak the casing for a few hours in hot water and vinegar to revive it and make it elastic. Chop the meat with the large hole disc once. Dissolve the salt in the wine, add the garlic, (granular or fresh crushed) the pepper, the chilli and season the mince, mixing well, preferably with your hands. Leave everything to rest for at least an hour.

Rinse the casing well inside and out and stuff the sausages. If you don't have a stuffer you can use a funnel with a large beak.

After cooking, check the preparation and if necessary add liquid or thicken. Finish the dish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and freshly ground black pepper.
