Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp Fresh sage
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp Fennel seeds
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Cold water

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, parsley, thyme, sage, and minced garlic.
Add the salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl.
Pour in the cold water and mix everything thoroughly with your hands until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture becomes slightly sticky.
Divide the sausage mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about ½ inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sausage patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F).
Remove the cooked sausages from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the herb sausages as part of a breakfast platter, in sandwiches, or alongside your favorite sides.
