I'm looking for recipe to make a "light" Italian sausage, I want to replace red wine with white, to remove the paprika and to include some lemon. I will continue to use fennel, garlic and oregano.
Anyone have any ideas for a recipe?

Hi

Try this, leaving out the cayenne and adding the grated rind of a lemon

This isn't T&T, I'm afraid but looks pretty good to me.

I'm going to cook up a bollito Misto next week, missing a few essentials such as a calves head unfortunately, but I'm going to try this recipe of Len Poli's for cotechino:
