Homemade Breakfast Sausage
By Kathy C.
http://quietlyrunningtherace
- Jimmy Dean Type Pork Breakfast Sausage:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp rubbed sage
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp crushed coriander
- (I found the whole coriander was a little intense. I collect the coriander seeds when my cilantro goes to seed and crush it in my mortar and pestle. The coriander is that "something" spice that gives most sausage it's sausagey flavor.)
- For a Hot Version just add 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
- Maple Sausage:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 3 Tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp crushed coriander
- Maple Garlic Sausage:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- This combination ends up tasting like Chinese food to me. The combination of the salt, the syrup, and the garlic is very reminiscent of a soy sauce flavor with garlic. Odd but true, and very tasty!
