Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, dried basil, and dried oregano. Mix well until all spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Shape the Sausages

    Using your hands, shape the sausage mixture into eight equal-sized patties or links, depending on your preference.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sausages

    Add the shaped sausages to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C).

  3. 5

    Optional Vegetables

    If using, slice the bell pepper and onion into strips. Add them to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking, stirring occasionally until softened.
