Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 5 meters pork casing (optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, coconut sugar, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 2
2. Add minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and baking soda to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 3
3. Gradually add cold water to the mixture. Use your hands to blend the mixture well until there is an even consistency and the mixture sticks together.
Step 4
4. If using casings, soak them in water according to package instructions, rinse thoroughly, then tie one end of each casing.
Step 5
5. Stuff the meat mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill to avoid breaking. Twist the sausage into desired links, tying them off with kitchen twine.
Step 6
6. If not using casings, shape the mixture into sausage patties or long logs for a casing-less sausage.
Step 7
7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the sausages for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
Step 8
8. Serve hot with your choice of accompaniments, such as garlic fried cauliflower rice or a fresh salad.
