Good afternoon.
I don't have rosemary extract, can I substitute fresh rosemary? If possible, how much do I use?

I made this recipe this week, curing it for five days in the fridge with the adapted fan. Man, it looks really good, really pretty color. Next time I'll add a little oregano and more hot paprika (I used a little along with the sweet one). I used artificial casing because I didn't have fine caliber natural casing.

Good afternoon, Eduardo,

I really liked it, it looks very tasty…it takes a lot of water, right? I don't remember ever seeing any sausage with so much water...I just don't know where I'm going to find rosemary extract, I have the plant...

Now that I have the starter culture, I saw that it is not used in this sausage…lol.

As soon as I have space in my “chamber” in the fridge, I’m going to take the plunge…

Great recipe, thanks!
