There are 2 things you never want to see made, laws and sausages. Having been around enough politicians I have often thought this was unfair to sausage. Stores bought sausage are loaded with salt and fat and can be way to use things no one wants to eat. However homemade sausage is a great taste treat.
Sausage is simply flavored ground pork. If you have a good source of ground pork you can enjoy sausage with your mind at ease. Being from Nova Scotia I seek out Tony’s Meats ground pork. http://www.tonys-meats.com/ I have also found a farm from which I can buy my pork but that is another blog for another day.
Being the weekend I would like to share my breakfast sausage recipe with you. I enjoy these sausage patties with eggs, pancakes or as a part of a sausage egg and biscuit sandwich.
Pure Pork Breakfast Sausages:
1.5 pounds of local ground pork
1 ¼ tsp of sea salt
2 tsp dried sage
2 tsp dried sage
3/4/ tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 tsp dark brown sugar
¼ tsp ground cloves
In a small bowl mix the salt and spices together to ensure they are well combined. In a large bowl spread the pork out along the bottom of the bowl and sprinkle half the spice evenly over the meat. Mix in. Spread the meat out again and sprinkle the remaining spice over the meat. Mix well.
Put the meat in a zip top bag or covered bowl for an hour or over night to allow the flavors to blend. Then form into a patty and cook over medium heat for a couple minutes each side until cooked through but still juicy. Spicing is a personal thing, cook one patty and taste then adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Now if there was a way to fix how laws are made. J
