INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🐖 1 pound coarsely ground pork shoulder

  • Spices

    • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, lightly crushed
    • 🍊 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
    • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg

STEPS

1

Place pork, fennel seeds, orange zest, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg into a bowl and stir very lightly with a fork to combine. Do not overmix. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

2

Check seasonings by shaping about 2 teaspoons of sausage into a small patty and frying until brown in a skillet over medium heat. Let cool 1 to 2 minutes and taste for seasoning.

3

Cover a cutting board with plastic wrap. Divide sausage into 6 equal pieces, roll into balls, and wrap each ball with plastic wrap. Press flat into patties and discard plastic.

4

Place a heavy skillet, such as a cast iron skillet, over medium-high heat. Cook patties in the hot skillet until meat is no longer pink in the center and the sausage is browned, about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
