Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground pork
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground sage
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Ice-cold water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground pork, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, ground sage, ground thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Using clean hands or a large spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the pork.
Add the ice-cold water to the mixture and continue to mix until the sausage becomes slightly sticky, which helps bind it together.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
When ready to cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Shape the sausage mixture into small patties or form them into logs, depending on your preference.
Cook the sausage in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
Remove the cooked sausages from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the sausages immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for future use.
