I could have sworn that I'd posted this here, but I guess not since the search came up empty. Given Woody's questions on the other thread I thought I might as well post it up.

I started out with Ken's basic recipe and tweaked it some....added minced dehydrated onion, some special meat binder (sodium phosphate) and some ice cold white wine. 
Here are the spices from 12 o'clock : Pepper (fresh ground), kosher salt, basil, granulated garlic, meat binder and dehydrated onion.

Also minced up some spinach (frozen) and some fresh mushrooms 


Made a slurry with the spices and the ice cold white wine (chablis) and then mixed the heck out of everything and stuffed.


Did a fry pan test on the leftover in the stuffer and it got a great big thumbs up.


Thanks for looking, and I'm sorry it took me so damned long to post.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Not as of yet Margi...that is high up on my list of sausages to be made...a true Greek sausage. 
I will use lamb for sure, cheese will be either feta or kassari or both...fresh greens are a must as well, and perhaps I can incorporate kalamata olives in some way.

As you can tell I'm still very undecided what I'll use, but when it happens it will be posted here for sure.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Thanks Hoser. This shall be a vacation first sausage project. Tas has provided us with some exemplary details on a Czek Manufacturer Grinder. We may consider borrowing a Farmer friend's for this 1st chapter and research prices on the Czek model. The Vet shall handle this department! Kind regards and thanx for stunner recipe. Margi.

Mark,

 
I understand that milk fed grass grazed baby lamb has become quite expensive in the USA ... I have a friend in Los Angeles ...
 
However, none the less, lamb would be perfect for this sausage of Hoser´s ...
 
Off, as it is 1am here ...
 
Mare.

The spinach -feta gig with lamb is on the top of my tube steak to-do list Mark. It's just that the price of lamb has been so outrageous around here lately...I'm hoping someone will have it on sale just before Easter, and I'll be able to take a shot at it.
Go ahead...play with your food!

Hoser,

A lady friend of mine mentioned that milk fed baby lamb is so expensive in Los Angeles, California; about $17 - $18 a pound ...
 
That is on pricey side ... It is 10 Euros - 11 Euros a Kilo here in Spain ... same in Italia more or less; depending where you purchase. We always drive up to Abruzzi for our Easter lamb roast ...
 
Hopefully, just in time for Easter week, prices shall decrease somewhat ...
 
Margi.

I just came from the grocery. A bone in leg was $16lb. Strange, I can buy whole lamb for $3.02lb(frozen), just cannot use it all at once. I would love to smoke a whole lamb....but it's just me!
I guess I could butcher it and freeze it. Hmmmm, that's a thought! I generally don't like to re-freeze things buttt.
