1/2 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup harissa paste
4 tbsp. salt
2 1/2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. four-spice blend (pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander)
1 tsp. chipotle powder

Steps
Prepare sausage: Cut venison and fatback into small pieces; refrigerate until well chilled.
In bowl, combine venison mixture with wine, garlic, harissa, salt, sugar, four-spice blend and chipotle; marinate 1 hour.
Place meat mixture and bell peppers in meat grinder; grind and mix thoroughly until slightly tacky but well blended. Push through extruder into casings.
Prepare Creamy Polenta: In saucepan, bring milk and water to a boil. Add polenta and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Stir in cream, then butter, until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Prepare Piperade: Slightly peel the skin off peppers; slice peppers into fine julienne. In heavy-bottom saucepan over med.-low heat, heat 3 tbsp. olive oil. Add peppers and garlic; sweat until very tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in smoked picante; season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Grill sausages until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
