Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 medium, peeled and grated Granny Smith apple
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apple, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped sage, and thyme leaves.
Step 2
Season the mixture with fresh ground black pepper, ground coriander, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausage patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 5
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through in the center. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the sausages immediately, paired with a side of your choice, such as sautéed greens or roasted potatoes.
