  • 8 Servings
  • Prep 15 min + chilling
  • Cook 30 min

Ingredients:

  • 11/2 pounds ground pork
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the pork, salt, pepper, sage and marjoram and mix well with a fork. Knead the sausage into a large ball. (Taste for seasoning by pinching off an olive-size piece of sausage and placing it in a small nonstick skillet. Cook the small piece over medium heat, turning often, until it’s no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste, then add additional salt, pepper or herbs to the sausage mixture as desired.)

  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the uncooked sausage mixture for 1 hour. Using your hands, form the meat into 24 uniform balls, then flatten each into a patty.

  3. Place 8 of the patties in a large nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, repeat with the remaining patties and serve.
