4 pounds fresh pork shoulder, run through the largest holes of butcher's grinder
2 pounds pancetta, run through the same grinder
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons kosher salt
4 tablespoons fennel seeds
1/2 cup dry white wine
Sheep casings, 8 feet, equalling about 1/2 pound*
8 scallions, roots trimmed
2 pounds fava beans, shucked and peeled
4 hot chilies
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 egg whites, beaten
1 bunch each, parsley, oregano, chives and thyme, chopped and mixed together
4 sheets parchment
*Available from your butcher

1
In a mixing bowl, stir together the pork shoulder and pancetta with your hands until well-mixed.
2
Add pepper, salt, fennel seeds, and white wine and mix until well-blended, again with your hands.
3
Work quickly so that body temperature does not change the texture of the fat.
4
Set up the sausage stuffer and place the casing over the funnel feeder.
5
If you do not have a sausage stuffer, form the sausage into 1/4-pound logs, by hand, and be careful handling them.
6
Stuff the sausage into the casings, twisting every 3 1/2 to 4 inches so that each sausage is about 4 ounces, and form 22 to 25 sausages.
7
Prick them all over with a needle and divide into four equal batches.
8
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
9
Place each batch of sausage in a single layer in the center of each piece of parchment and fold in half like a book.
10
Divide the scallions and favas among four packs, place 1 hot chili on top of each and drizzle each with 2 tablespoons oil.
11
Fold so there are no openings, seal the edges of each packet with the egg whites and place each packet on a sheet tray.
12
Cook in a pizza oven 30 minutes, remove.
13
Cut the bag with scissors at the table and sprinkle with the herbs.
14
Serve in the bag.
