Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 1 piece garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped sage, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground fennel seeds, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), onion powder, and maple syrup.
Using clean hands or a spatula, mix the ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or parchment-lined tray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausage patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve hot as part of a breakfast plate, on a biscuit, or alongside vegetables for a savory meal.
