Ingredients

• 450 grams Ground pork
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried sage
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: ground pork, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried sage, red pepper flakes (if using), and brown sugar (if using).

Step 2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the pork.

Step 3

If making sausage patties, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1 cm thick.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Cook the sausage patties in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).

Step 6

If using the sausage crumbled (for pizza, pasta, or other dishes), cook the mixture in the skillet, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through.

Step 7

Serve immediately as part of a meal or save for use in recipes. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
