Steps
1
Cut the lamb shoulder into 2” pieces, and using a meat grinder, grind the meat.2
Lightly combine the lamb with all the spices in a bowl and refrigerate. It is important to refrigerate the ground lamb so the fat does not melt in order to give the sausage a good texture.3
Next, using a sausage horn, attach the hog casing (60 inch) and start to feed the sausage back through the grinder to fill the casing and twist into links.4
With a paring knife, prick holes all along the casing (this will allow steam to escape while cooking). Refrigerate.5
Combine all ingredients for the yogurt sauce in a medium-sized bowl. Cover and refrigerate.6
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 225℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.7
Place the prepared sausage on the grill grate and smoke it for 1 hour.
Grill: 225˚8
Once the hour is up, remove the links from the grill and turn the grill up to 500F and preheat.Grill: 500˚9
Once the grill comes to temperature, place the links back on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side.Grill: 500˚10
Serve hot with yogurt sauce and roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
