Breakfast Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ pound ground pork shoulder
Instructions
- Combine the sage, brown sugar, salt, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Add ground pork to spice mixture and mix until well combine
- Using a ¼ measuring cup, form a ball and then flatten into patties, ¼” thick
- Store between two pieces of parchment paper and refrigerate before use
- To cook, heat a pan over medium high heat and cook each patty for 2 minutes on each side
Notes:
The ground pork you find in grocery stores is most commonly ground pork shoulder. The pork shoulder is also sometimes referred to as Boston butt or pork butt. The cut of meat referred to as a pork butt is actually positioned at the shoulder of the pig, while the actual butt of the pig is what is used for ham.
