This is a simple breakfast sausage in patty form. So easy! The key is to get freshly and coarsely ground pork shoulder from a real live butcher.
Ingredients
- 1 pound coarsely ground pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, or more to taste – lightly crushed
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Place pork, fennel seeds, orange zest, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg into a bowl and stir very lightly with a fork to combine. Do not overmix. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 2
Check seasonings before using: Shape about 2 teaspoons sausage into a small patty and fry until brown in a skillet over medium heat. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes and taste for seasoning.
Step 3
Cover a cutting board with plastic wrap. Divide sausage into 6 equal pieces, roll into a balls, and wrap each ball with plastic wrap. Press flat into patties and discard plastic.
Step 4
Place a heavy skillet, such as a cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat. Cook patties in hot skillet until meat is no longer pink in the center and the sausage is browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tip
If using table salt instead of kosher salt, use only 1/2 to 3/4 of a teaspoon.
