PORK SAUSAGE COUNTRY
£13.99
The generic term “Greek country sausage” most commonly refers to Loukaniko (Greek: λουκάνικο). It is typically made from pork, or a mix of pork and lamb, and is flavored with traditional Mediterranean spices and herbs. The specific flavor profile can vary depending on the region.Â
Flavor profile and varieties
- Signature flavors:Â A defining characteristic of Loukaniko is the aromatic blend of ingredients that give it a rich yet refreshing taste. Common ingredients include:
- Orange zest:Â Adds a bright, citrusy element that cuts through the richness of the meat.
- Herbs:Â Greek oregano, thyme, and sometimes coriander and fennel seeds are used to impart an earthy, Mediterranean flavor.
- Red wine and garlic:Â These are often included to add a deeper, savory flavor profile.
- Regional variations:Â The ingredients used in Loukaniko can vary from region to region across Greece.
- Some versions, such as those from Crete, are made with lean meat and intended for grilling.
- Other varieties may include leeks for a milder, onion-like flavor.
- Some versions may be smoked over aromatic woods, adding a smoky depth.
