Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb / 500 g 20% Fat Minced/Ground Pork, close to room temperature
- 1/2 cup Fresh Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Spring/Green Onion, very finely diced
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 small clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried Sage
- 1 tsp dried Parsley
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds, crushed
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 lb (500 g) of ground pork with 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs, 1 tsp each of dried sage and dried parsley, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper, 1/2 tsp crushed fennel seeds, 1 beaten egg, 1 finely diced spring/green onion, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.
- Adjust Texture: If the mixture feels too wet to shape due to varying water content in the pork, add a few pinches more breadcrumbs until it can be molded confidently.
- Shape Sausages: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions (approximately 1/3 cup each). Gently roll each portion into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Note that the sausages will shrink slightly when cooking.
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until shimmering and hot.
- Cook Sausages: Add the sausages to the pan and turn them frequently to sear all sides evenly. Continue cooking, flipping occasionally, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the sausages are nicely browned on the outside and cooked thoroughly through the center.
Notes
- Ensure the pork is close to room temperature before mixing for better binding.
- Do not overmix the meat to keep the sausages tender and juicy.
- Different pork batches may vary in moisture; add breadcrumbs accordingly to achieve the right texture.
- These skinless sausages can be served as is or with your favorite accompaniments like mustard, eggs, or sautéed vegetables.
