W30/B: Apple Pork Sausage

By Dski

Ingredients

• 1 pound (500 g) lean ground pork
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 apple, peeled and minced (I used a Pink Lady apple)
• 1 tsp dried sage
• 1 tsp ground fennel (or fennel seed…it was all I had)
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• Coconut oil or fat of choice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Chop the onion and apple into a small dice. You want the pieces to be small enough that they’ll soften down and blend well into the patty.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt a spoonful of your fat of choice. Sautee the onions until translucent, a few minutes. Add the apple and sautee both until softened, about 5-6 minutes total. Let cool for a few minutes.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine pork, sage, fennel, salt and pepper. When the onion / apple mixture is cool, add and mix well. I use my hands. Man up.

4. Form the sausage mixture into patties. I made mine about 2″ (5 cm) in diameter but you can make them as big or small as you’d like…it’s your show after all!

5. Heat the same skillet to medium-high. Add another spoonful of fat and fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through completely.
