Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork and pork fat (if using). Mix well to ensure the fat is evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, sage, thyme, and sugar to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Gradually add the ice water to the mixture, continuing to mix. This will help the sausage blend smoothly and maintain moisture.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Shape the Sausages

    Using your hands, form the mixture into sausage patties or logs, depending on your preference. Ensure they are uniform in size for even cooking.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sausages

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties or logs to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sausages from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, either on their own or as part of a breakfast spread.
