Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons low sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with the white wine vinegar and minced garlic. Mix well to ensure the flavors begin to infuse the meat.

Step 2

Add the smoked paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground coriander, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices throughout the meat.

Step 3

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and mix well, integrating it into the seasoned meat mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the low sodium chicken broth to the mixture, stirring gently until well combined. The broth will add moisture to the sausage, enhancing its texture.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour. This resting period will allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

After marinating, shape the sausage mixture into patties or roll them into links, depending on preference.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage patties or links.

Step 8

Cook the sausages for about 10-15 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess fat.

Step 10

Serve the Low Sodium Brazilian Sausage hot, paired with your favorite side dishes.
