Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1lb / 500g 20% Fat Minced/Ground Pork, close to room temp
- 1/2 cup Fresh Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Spring/Green Onion, very finely diced
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 small clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Sage
- 1 tsp dried Parsley
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds, crushed
Cooking
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine 1lb/500g pork mince with 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs, 1 tsp dried sage & parsley, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp thyme, cracked black pepper, crushed fennel seeds, 1 beaten egg, 1 finely diced spring onion, and 1 minced clove of garlic. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed, taking care not to overwork the meat.
- Adjust Mixture Consistency: If the mixture feels too wet to mold due to varying water content in the pork, add a few pinches more breadcrumbs until it comes together nicely for shaping.
- Shape Sausages: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions (about 1/3 cup each). Gently roll each portion into a sausage shape approximately 6 inches long. The sausages will shrink slightly when cooked.
- Heat the Pan: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook Sausages: Add the sausages to the pan and turn them over several times to sear all sides evenly. Continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until they are browned on the outside and piping hot inside, about 10-12 minutes total.
Notes
- Using ground pork with about 20% fat content ensures flavorful and juicy sausages.
- Don’t overmix the sausage mixture to keep a tender texture.
- If the mixture is sticky or too wet, adding additional breadcrumbs helps firm it up for shaping.
- These sausages are skinless, making them easier and faster to prepare but just as delicious.
- Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, eggs, or in a bun with condiments.
