Fresh Tuscan Sausage: black pepper and garlic in natural casing
Tuscan sausage is a fresh pork sausage seasoned with salt, black pepper and garlic and stuffed into natural casing: few ingredients, a coarse grind and a clean flavour, to be cooked over embers, in a pan or with beans. Ours comes from Salumificio Poggetto, in a vacuum pack of 5 sausages weighing about 550 g.
🐖 What makes Tuscan sausage different
The Tuscan recipe is pared back: pork, salt, black pepper and garlic. No fennel, no chilli, no wine: it is the pepper that gives it character. The grind is coarse, so during cooking the pieces of meat stay recognisable and the fat melts without leaving water in the pan.
Natural casing makes the difference over embers: it browns evenly and turns crisp, while the inside stays juicy.

🔥 How to cook Tuscan sausage
- Over embers: prick the sausages with a toothpick so the fat drips out without bursting the casing. Glowing embers, medium-high heat, 8-10 minutes, turning them often.
- In a pan: a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, medium heat, 10-12 minutes. Deglazed with a splash of red wine, they become a quick main course.
- With beans: browned and then cooked with cannellini beans, sage and tomato, the classic Tuscan “salsicce e fagioli”.
- In sauce: crumbled out of the casing, for a white or red ragù to dress pici.
