Zesty Breakfast Sausages
These Paleo sausage patties are so easy to make at home that you’ll never buy them at the grocery store again! They pack a huge amount of flavor in just one bite without leaving you feeling guilty from any unwanted additives. The key ingredient in this recipe is the ground fennel. Its licorice-like taste is fresh and bright and beautifully accents the pork. The combination of hot and spicy peppers really completes the zing!
Serves 4
1 pound ground pork
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground fennel
1 teaspoon paprika
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
- Combine pork, garlic, and all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make sure all spices are incorporated throughout the pork.
- Shape pork mixture into small, circular patties (approximately 8 patties).
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add olive oil. Once heated, add the patties to the skillet and cook for approximately 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. (The middle of the patties should no longer be pink.) Remove from heat and enjoy!
