- Hi everyone! Welcome back to our channel! We are starting 2024 with a bang!
Russians are cooked, smoked sausages usually made from pork. Deliciously smokey & juicy with savory flavors. A quality Russian has a firm texture(with pieces of meat and fat) and that characteristic snap when you bite into it!
While the origin and influence of the Russian sausage is a bit unclear, one thing most South Africans know is: " 'n Russian is mos lekker!"
Russian sausages are a South African favorite!
Recipe (Makes 5.5KG of Russians)
∙ 4KG Pork shoulder meat
∙ 1KG Pork Back fat
∙ 500ml Ice water
Spices
∙ 100g Sea salt
∙ 20g Black Pepper (Coarse grind)
∙ 20g Dried garlic flakes
∙ 25g Dried Onion powder
∙ 25g Brown Sugar
∙ 15g Fine Ginger
∙ 15g Fine Coriander
∙ 7g Fine Cardamom (about 10g worth of pods)
The casings were 34-36 Natural Hog casings (Soaked for an hour or two & insides rinsed)
Enjoy!☺

Russian and chips on a Saturday night….memories. 😋. That crunch when you bite into it….im drooling 🤤
I'm an oldish 'Toppie' (60) and also an old boerewors maker. Back in the day, in the '70s I went on a mission to find the origin of Russian Sausage. The old 'SA Vleisraad' (SA Meatboard) had excellent booklets of recipes one could write away for and included with many other wonders was an old recipe for Russians. According to them, the original recipe was for 'Polish Smoked Garlic Sausage', but in the '70s SA that sounded too much like 'Polony' (SA Baloney). Now this was a cheap sliced meat product made of any kind of excess meat and it was as good as its ingredients...Needless to say they didn't want this yummy sausage to suffer by comparison, so Russia being next door to Poland its name was appropriated for 'reklame' (means of advertising).
This was in cold war years and the mistake never got corrected. So an English bulk recipe for a Polish smoked sausage became Russian in South Africa for advertising purposes and stayed that way. I know this sounds a bit like a naughty international joke that you have to think about for a while, as both Russia and Poland deny complicity about this sausage. Sadly I lost all my books to fire and I can't find any reference to this on the net. So either you have to take my word for it or consider me a very inventive bullshitter.
I still use my old recipe though, and its very similar to yours in spicing. The difference is I smoke at 30 deg C for much longer (cold smoke), and then poach at 80deg C in hot water (just under boil) until they firm. Then chill on ice. Basically a cool smoke like Bratwurst instead of the quicker hot smoke you use. All this really means is that the cool smoked sausages can be stored in a cold room and then poached on demand, as frozen salted pork never tastes quite the same after defrosting.
I'm going to try your way for smaller amounts as its much quicker, the old way I think just stores better so it works for bulk. A nice, cold winter also always helps with all sausage making, and keeping all tools and ingredients as icy as possible.
I love watching your videos, it feels like the old days. Keep up the good work and lots of love to you all.
❤.... thank you for sharing your interesting story with us. Keep the fire burning high!!!
Your origin story sounds plausible. Thank you for the info
Very interesting, thank you for that.
I also prefer to cold smoke my sausages, although getting hold of Prague#1 salt is not so easy.
What do you use?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research with us. Please let me know what you think of our Russian recipe. Thank you and best regards to you and your family!
@@WolkbergArtisans2019 The recipe is an absolute winner. I've made it a couple of times and it's brilliant. I cold smoked my last batch and they were perfect.
Russian and chips, my favorite.
Just found you guys, eish man , julle maak lekker kos. Hou die blink kant bo.
Oh Man!! We live in Brisbane, Australia and I’ve been kissing for Russians for a while now - I cant wait to make these.😊
You guys are SO deserving of much higher number of subscribers. Your videos and recipes are outstanding , your food preparation gear, camera and image quality are absolutely fantastic. You make SA and South Africans all around the world proud ! 👏👏👏👏👏. Wishing you the best 👏👏👏👏👍👍

Sjoe!! Indeed! Real McCoy!!
Damn, wanneer laas het ek n lekker russian ge-eet. Shoe my mond water. Dankie vir die deel. Groete uit die Wes-Kaap

Очень приятно, что Вы готовите русские сосиски. 🤙
Salute you guys ❤
awesome video, love hearing the birds in the background, piet mij vrouw and all the rest, definitely going to make some of these for me a and some for my Polish colleagues to try Kilbasa😂from Africa
Thank you so much! Hope you guys enjoy them!
I also like to cold smoke these.
Here is a moer of an easy and very cheap way to cold smoke anything.
I prefer to cold smoke my sausages, and I cold smoked these russians (brilliant recipe btw,) and they came our perfectly.
If you don't know, cold smoking is smoking the food without cooking it.
You still get the smoked flavour, but you will end up cooking the sausages/meat/chicken/cheese like you normally would.
No offset smoker needed, just a braai with a lid, and for safety sake get Prague Curing Salt #1 (insta-cure/pink salt#1) from Freddy Hirsch.
When cold smoking, the temperature can be in a range that might be dangerous, so the Prague Salt #1 takes care of that.
Anyway, just get a big flour sieve (your missus will have at least one in the kitchen) and push the mesh in, so it forms a sort of cone on the other side, add smoking pellets around the cone, but leave a gap, light the one side and just close the lid.
When they reach about 40 degrees C or 100 degrees F, they are ready.
Here is a video that shows you how:

So easy, and it works!
Wow, I forgot about these. Sal definitief probeer.
Jou boerewors resep is perfek
Hulle is “sharp” sê jy? 😁😁😁
…. woon jare nie meer in SA nie en die klets in dié agtergrond bring herinneringe
🎉.... Jummy in my tummy. Thank you so much for sharing. Going to use this meat mix for home made burger patties instead (dont have a sausage stuffer) Look forward to another easy summer dish.
you can make a crude but effective sausage stuffer with a coke bottle, if you really want to make sausage cheap.. there is even a tutorial video on TH-cam.
Just came across your channel sir, thanks Mkhaya, the Russians look amazing. You've gained a new Subbie from home ❤ 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Jiss... Hoe water my mond nou. Daai is nou 'n ding wat ons gladnie in AUS kry nie. En smag al jare na 'n lekker russian en tjips, met baie asyn.!!! Sal jy asseblief resep/hier post in kommentaar gedeelte. Dankie by voorbaat.!

I am soooo jealous. Well done and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Baie dankie vir die resep, broer: Larry in Kanada
OMW!!! Another amazing video you made. Wow! Thank you. I have veen salivating from the time you started eating that Champion russian. Thats a full 4 minutes. Loved seeing your animals too especially your "lawn mower". Really beautiful surroundings. You are very blessed and thank you for blessing your viewers with videos.
Mouthwatering 😋😋😋
Bliksem, dit lyk lekker.
Those look fantastic. Hello from Alberta Canada
Excellent, Mooiman :)
100 persent Suid Afrikaanse lekkerny Baie bly om Mzasi se produk 20:14 b U tube te sien Veels geluk
Yummmy 🤤hoe bewe my kakebeen nou jis die tekstuur is uit die heelboonste rak👍
Jissie hierdie lyk divine! Ek koop ook nie gewoonlik russians nie want dis waar wat sy se, jy koop sommer die sooibrand saam met die russians! Maar hierdie lyk absoluut awesome! Ek wens ek kon dit ook gemaak het
Hoe kwyl my honde my nou papnat. Dit lyk special. Dankie.
Lyk heerlik. Ek stem saam. Lekker slap cuips met sout en asyn. Nou water my mond sommer.
Dis so moeilik om 'n lekker Russian in die winkel te kry! Begin bemark julle!
Great stuff meneer...
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I've been living in Spain for many years and Russian and Chips was my go to order from my local cafe when I lived in SA. Can't wait to try this!
That crisp on the outside contrast with softness of the inside 🍴😊
Not like that
Wow Looks amazing and Im hungry now!
Hi, Just love your videos. Can you recommend a robust, lowish budget, meat grinder / mincer as the reviews on entry level products are not encouraging. Also can you advise if you’ve ever made Toulouse sausage, one of the key ingredients for cassoulet. I have no issues if you answer in Afrikaans.
Hi! Before I used this more robust grinder I used the Bosch Propower model no: MFW67440. A great entry level grinder. I used it for a few years(Worked it much harder than it should)
I have not made Toulouse sausage yet, seems like a recipe I should try and make👍
Thank you so much for watching our videos!
Dankie ❤
@chudsBbq please try this famous south African sausage, it's fantastic and I think you'll love
Really inspiring!!! Thank you so much for your generosity 🙏🙏🙏
I love me some russian... looks so delicious. Thank you for the recipe, I'm definitely going to try it.
Laat my dink aan my weermag dae in die 80's, Take Away net buitekant Winburg Vrystaat, Footlong Russian met Slap Chips en 1/2 liter melk vir R2. En ja daai sout en asyn saam met daai Russian😋En ja ek stem saam, vandag se gekoopte Russians doen nie die ding nie.
Eish!!! Nou is ek lus vir 'n lekker Russian....
Howzit uit Nederland. Sjoe! Nou verlang ek
Baie lekker kos wat julle mee besig is hou so aan! Maar belangrike vraag watter horlosie dra jy?
Hello is there beef Russian? Looks yummy though 😋
Good looking sausages
OI VEY, ek wil dit graag probeer maak
Wow! Just Wow!
Excellent video thank you! I can tell you right now the best sausages in the whole world you gonna find them in from central to eastern europe. Absolutely delicious. Fun fact: have you ever eaten hotdogs (in europe we call them kremwurst or frankfurter) made out of mince lamb meat? check it out your hat gonna fly to Mars!
Thank you so much for posting all these videos. I have a question : since I don't eat pork, can I substitute to make these? Greetings from Germany/USA
Looks delicious... !!!! .....I could buy 100 kg
Ek kort vriende soos jy in my lewe😂
Wow - looks so good. Question, can lamb be substituted? It may be a stupid question considering you don't get lamb russians (as far as I am aware)...but i'm just curious if a lamb version is possible.
Goed my broer! Dankie!
Yummy🎉
Wow! Lyk baie lekker! Vraag as jy kan help- kan ek bees brisket en of skaap stert vet ipv enige varkvleis gebruik, sonder om noodwendig die smaak te verloor? Ons geniet jou programme ontsettend baie, jy is beslis 'n " meester" as die by braai geregte kom!
Hi! Baie dankie! Die smaak gaan definitief anders wees, maar dit sal ook lekker wees. Jy kan die bees brisket gebruik en skaap vet of brisket vet gebruik. Sal uniek wees en definitief ook lekker wees. Probeer gerus en laat weet ons asb hoe dit uit gekom het 👍
What an awesome method. Please can i have beef version spice mix as i would like to try this out
Thank you! You can use the same spices, replace the pork with beef(brisket will work perfectly), and the fat with brisket fat. Then you will have an all Beef Russian recipe👍
@@WolkbergArtisans2019 thank you 😊
Sjoe, dit lyk lekker.. Gaan definitief die een moet probeer..
Great video, what meat stuffer did you use in the video?
Damn dit lyk perfek...
Another really lekker video guys!
My go to food porn channel. 🤣
I've never tried making Russians before, as technically it's an emulsified sausage, and moer of a difficult to make without a bowl cutter, but what the hell, I'm going to make them like this, they look perfect!
I see you have the exact same stuffer as mine, I've had mine for 15 years, and it's still going strong.
Awesome channel, keep them coming 👍
Dit lyk baie lekker . Egte kwalityd
lekker man lekker

Nou mis ek Afrika. Dit lyk lekker.
Weet jy hoe lank al soek ek die ding gaan dit maak en in my winkel verkoop sal jou laat weet Dankie
Hi daar dis darem lekker om te sien jy maak sulke lekke wors!!! , het jy dalk gedink om kaas en Jelopino peppers by te sit? Ek hier in Duitsland het vandag net my Droewors klaar gemaak maar die blerrie vleis is baie duur veral as jy skaap vet soek dit is amper ontmoontlik om te kry , ek het nou die dag by a slagter gaan vra vir T-Bone steak to se hy ekmoet oor n week kom belaglik!!! Net a bietjie snert praat saam, Jou wors en Russians lyk heerlik sterkte
Corne´

Dit Lyk Baie smaaklik en gaan beslis hierdie resep probeer. Ek stem saam dat ek kan doen sonder die sooibrand, so gaan beslis probeer.
Hi, wat is die grootte van die eerste maal plaatjie wat jy gebruik het?
Dit was 8mm.
Ek dink jy moet hierdie video vir "Escort" stuur so dat hulle weer kan leer om russians behoorlik te maak. DIs nou een ding wat ek mis van SA maar die russians in die winkels is sommer sleg. Jou russians lyk baie lekker. :-)
Baie dankie! 😉🏆👍
😂😂😂As for the lawn mower
Nee ek se jou dit lyk lekker jy mag maar
Dis nie fong kong nie😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I went to a Russian grocery store and told them I wanted a Russian almost died but I quickly changed and said Russian Sausage but they had over fifty and they let me taste all of them but non of them is like this one
Lol Russian is South African
Show more of your environment
Nee donner...nou is ek ook honger...
There is no such thing as russian kovbasa , and never existed!!!
It is Ukrainian word and recipe of this meat sausage is from Ukraine only and Poland as well
Best is baked kiełbasa cut into slices with onion
Kiełbasa mniam❤❤❤😋
Salute you guys ❤
