To keep carbs low on your low-carb diet and up the nutritional quality of your meal, pair your sausage with healthy veggies. Toss cooked spaghetti squash with crumbled sausage, and top it with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
Monitor the drying process. Keep an eye on the temperature and humidity. Check the dryness of the sausage casing and look for mold growth. If you can’t stand the sight of mold, you’re going to either need to get over it or give up on dry curing. Molds, both beneficial and non-beneficial, are a major part of dry curing.
For this fried cabbage and sausage recipe, you can use any kind of low-carb sausage you like. Pork and beef sausage will provide the most flavor and are usually the lowest in carbs. Turkey or chicken sausage works as well, although they are a bit leaner.
Slowly and carefully press the meat through to the casing, easing off the casing, as needed, while you fill it. Stop when you have reached the desired size sausage, and tie off the end, cutting off any excess casing.
