Alton Brown's Fresh and Lean Pork Breakfast Sausage
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork butt 2 1/2 pounds with bone, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar or light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Chill diced pork for at least 30 minutes.
- For Blendtec: Add half the meat, the seasonings and the remaining meat to jar and secure lid. Press PULSE for 2 seconds 10-15 times until ground to desired consistency; do not over blend.
- For Vitamix: Turn the machine on, and increase to Variable Speed 6. Remove the lid plug and add the meat a couple chunks at a time in 10-15 second increments until your desired texture is reached. Remove the meat into a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, and combine with your hands.
- Form into 2-inch rounds. Refrigerate and use within 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. For immediate use, saute patties over medium-low heat in a non-stick pan. Saute until brown and cooked through, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- All done! Enjoy!! Now take a photo, rate it, and share your accomplishments! :) Tag @BlenderBabes & #BlenderBabes
