I try to limit the amount of pork I eat because it contains toxins and seems to hinder weight loss, so I wanted to have a good alternative for my breakfast sausage. This is a great, easy recipe for tasty sausage you can make at home. Enjoy all the great flavor of a hearty, robust sausage!
Ingredients
- ½ cup (118 ml) dry white wine
- 1 tsp unrefined sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tsp fennel seeds, crushed
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp allspice
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- 1 lb (453 g) lean ground chicken
- ½ lb (227 g) pork, beef or lamb fat, very finely chopped
- Butter or ghee, for cooking
How to Make It
- In a large bowl, blend the white wine with the salt, pepper, garlic, fennel, nutmeg, allspice, paprika and cayenne, stirring well.
- Add the meat and fat to the bowl and mix by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Alternatively, you can use a mixer. Once the sausage mixture is well combined, form into ¼ cup (55 g) balls, then flatten to about ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Refrigerate overnight before cooking, to blend flavors.
- When ready to cook, melt a tablespoon (14 g) of butter over high heat in a nonstick skillet. Cook the patties until browned on top and done all the way through, turning once, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
