Ingredients

Steps

1. Combine all ingredients except the vinegar, wine, and olive oil; stir well.
2. Grind the mixture through the small plate of a meat grinder into a cold bowl. Add the vinegar, wine, and olive oil, and stir well to distribute, until the sausage looks sticky rather than loose.
3. Sauté a small patty and taste for seasonings, and add additional salt, pepper, or basil as needed. If freezing, do so immediately; otherwise, keep in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.
