Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley. If using, add fennel seeds and brown sugar for additional flavor.
- 2
Knead the Mixture
Use your hands to knead the mixture until it is well combined and slightly sticky, about 2-3 minutes. This helps to develop the flavors.
- 3
Prepare Sausage Casings (if using)
If you are using sausage casings, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes. This softens the casings and makes them easier to work with.
Cooking
- 4
Stuff the Sausage (if using casings)
If using casings, fit a sausage stuffer with the soaked casing. Load the meat mixture into the stuffer and carefully fill the casing, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends with kitchen twine.
- 5
Form Patties (if not using casings)
If not using casings, form the sausage mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- 6
Cook the Sausages
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the sausages or patties for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
