Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground pork
- 1 medium apple
- 1 small onion
- 2 teaspoons sage
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel and grate the apple using a box grater. Finely chop the onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apple, sautéed onion, sage, thyme, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Using your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix the ingredients until well combined, but do not overmix as it can make the sausage tough.
Form the pork mixture into 2-inch patties or your desired shape.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Serve the sausages hot, enjoy them as part of a breakfast spread, or incorporate them into other dishes.
