Cudighi Sausage
An Italian sausage originating in northern Italy that is common only in areas such as
Italy or regions with a large population of Italians. Made from pork meat on the hind
section of the hog, this sausage is a combination of coarse ground pork, pork fat, red
wine, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.
The meat is then typically aged only for only a few days before being served.

Some serving suggestions
You can make this into links or leave in bulk. Use it in Italian cooking…lasagna, pizza, etc. You can also serve this as a sandwich, either grilled or pan fried. Can be served with mustard and onions…..but the most popular way is to top with mozzarella cheese and some spaghetti sauce….you could add some green peppers and mushrooms also. Or Serve on a Kaiser Bun with Green Peppers-Mushrooms-Onion-Pizza Sauce.

Can be served as an appetizer with cheese and crackers. Roll the sausage into log. Wrap in foil and boil in water for 45 minutes. Let cool and serve slices.
