Chill and grind the meats through a medium (10 mm or 3/8”) plate.
Add the salt, cure, pomegranate juice and wine to the meats and mix thoroughly.
Refrigerate overnight or until very cold and sticky.
Add all the remaining ingredients to a spice grinder and pulverize.
Combine them with meat paste, mix thoroughly and grind the whole through a fine (4.5 mm or 3/16”)plate.
Stuff the mixture into beef rounds, tie off at 9” (23 cm) intervals, and allow them to rest at 75-80oF for about 6 hours…or until the surface of the casing is dry to the touch.
Hang sausages at room temperature overnight, to loose excess moisture.
Allow sausage to dry at 50F and 55-60% R/H for at least 6 days before cooking.
