Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 package casing (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cumin, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well using your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Add salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh cilantro to the meat mixture. Knead the mixture for about 5 minutes until the ingredients are well incorporated and the meat binds together smoothly.
If using, soak the sausage casing in warm water and rinse thoroughly to remove excess salt. Follow package instructions for preparation.
Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into a sausage form using your hands or use a sausage stuffer if you choose to encase them.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausages (either in casing or unformed) to the skillet.
Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F).
Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb Brazilian sausages!
