Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or cooking spray (for frying)
Instructions
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the fennel seeds for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then crush them gently using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, maple syrup, toasted fennel seeds, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly with your hands or a fork to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil or coat a large skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess grease.
Serve the Maple Fennel Country Sausage Patties warm as part of a breakfast platter, in a sandwich, or alongside eggs and toast. Enjoy!
