Sausage Ingredients

Method

Sausage Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, fennel seeds, sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Sausages

    Using your hands, form the mixture into sausage shapes, approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Ensure they are compact and hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Sausages

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausages to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sausages from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel. Serve hot with your choice of sides or in your favorite dishes.
