Ingredients
- 1 ¾ teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons fennel seeds
- ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic granules
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)
- 1 pound ground pork
- olive oil
Instructions
- Combine parsley, salt, fennel, black pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, minced onion, and red pepper flakes in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind until all seasonings are finely crushed.
- Place pork in a large bowl and add seasoning mix. Mix with your hands until well combined. Roll into a log and slice into four 1/2-inch thick sausage patties.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage patties for 4 minutes. Turn patties and finish cooking for 4 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (73 degrees C).
- If desired, stuff into sausage casings, and shape into links. Freeze until ready to use. Alternatively, cook sausage over medium-high heat in a skillet for immediate use.
