Your sausage has become too dry?
He's hard as a rock?
It often happens when you forget the sausage in the fridge...
...or when left hanging for too long.
As a result, the water in the sausage evaporates completely and it becomes impossible to eat!
But don't throw it away, there is an easy and quick anti-waste solution to soften and tenderize it.
Grandma's trick is to put the cured sausage in a very damp cloth. Watch:
1. Take a clean tea towel.
2. Pass the cloth under water.
3. Wring it out to remove as much water as possible.
4. Wrap the sausage with the damp cloth.
5. Leave it like that for a whole day in a closet.
There you go, now you know how to soften a tough sausage at home :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Is the sausage still a little too dry?
Know that you can leave it up to 2 days in the damp cloth .
But remember not to leave it more than that.
Why ? Simply because mold grows more easily in humidity.
By the way, if you're looking for a quality dry sausage made the old-fashioned way, I love this one.
The best way to store a dry sausage is to hang it.
In short, the same as when you buy it from the butcher.
Hang it with its string in a temperate and humid place in your home.
This is the best way to prevent the sausage from drying out too quickly.
