Looking for Slovenian Sausage Recipe

[johnp]

I believe Slovenian Sausage is smoked but I can't seem to find recipes for it. Any help providing one or links to one is appreciated. Thanks.

There are many Slovenian sausages. Do you know which one you are thinking of? Blood sausage? Cevapcici? Something else?

Not sure. The only type I am familiar with is what they sell here in Cleveland, almost reminds me of a smoked hungarian type but I believe it may have beef in it too. Sorry I can't be more specific.

The smoked sausage they sell up where you live, what they call "Slovenian Smoked Sausage" are Americanized versions of a sausage called:
"Kranjske Klobasa" (plural is "Klobase")
"Kranjske Sausage"
"Karniolan Sausage"
"Carniolan Sausage"
"Slovenian Sausage"
"Slovenian Smoked Sausage"
"Smoked Slovenian Sausage"

I won't provide a recipe, because I have none, and trust very few recipes on the internet without having tested them. I'm not about to subject you to an untried recipe. If you google on these terms, you will find many recipes for making the sausage. Some offer a hot-smoked recipe. The sausage is supposed to be cold-smoked, and few of the recipes mention curing salts. You will need to compute appropriate curing salts for your sausage. To achieve what they sell where you live, you do not want an authentic recipe. You want a recipe from Ohio or the upper Midwest.

Good luck in your search, you should have no trouble finding a recipe you like.

Try the Kulen recipe on Len Poli's site. It is a pretty good tasting and very easy slovenian sausage.
