Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground pork
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with the thyme, rosemary, sage, brown sugar, salt, pepper, nutmeg and maple syrup. Mix well.
- Shape your patties. Shape into 16 equal size patties, about ¼ cup per patty, and flatten so that each patty is about 2½ to 3 inch in diameter.
- Cook the patties. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage patties and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until browned.
Notes
- Instead of patties, you can also shape these as long sausages.
- Use different meat, such as ground beef, turkey or chicken. You can even combine different meats.
- Patties can be pan-fried, air fried or baked, but the best flavor and most traditional way is to have them fried in the pan, on the stove in vegetable oil.
- If you have any leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge for 4-5 days in an airtight container.
- Patties are easy to freeze in zippered bags with the date labeled on the outside and they will last in the freezer for about 2 months.
