Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground pork
- 4 Green onions (scallions), finely chopped
- 1 Apple (Granny Smith or similar), peeled and grated
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Ground sage
- 0.125 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or neutral cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, grated apple, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground sage, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Green Onion and Apple Sausage Patties warm with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, toast, or a fresh salad.
