I posted a while back about trying to redo a homemade sausage recipe to fit my hubby's tastes. Well, I have officially given up, and will post the original recipe with some of my personal notes.
This is great sausage because it tastes just like Jimmy's sausage - to me at least. And, you can choose the type of meat you use as well as the amount of salt (and other spices). Love the control!!! And Junnie at least likes it as much as I do. Sometimes, that is.
I got this recipe from Mary Jo, a fellow missionary, who now lives in Okinawa. She gave it to me in the late 1990's. I feel old. Here it is:
Italian Breakfast Sausage
1/2 tsp. fennel
1/2 tsp. savory
1/2 tsp. thyme
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Mix the above spices with 300 gm. ground pork. Make into patties and cook.
Now, for my notes, I prefer to use ground chicken, but find it makes quite a hard patty. So, one day, I decided to mix a handful of panko (Japanese bread crumbs) in with it. They were wonderful, tender, and yummy! At other times, I have mixed 1/2 ground chicken with 1/2 ground pork. This keeps the patties a little more tender than 100% ground chicken.
The patties freeze well, also!
Oh, I was able to find all of these spices in Japan, as well! At a fancy supermarket, but, still, in Japan!

I came back to check out the sausage recipe (which looks pretty good and easier than some of the others I have tried, by the way) and I clicked onto the links in your sidebar for the meats and organic foods and I was in heaven. Exactly what I have been looking for and for some reason have been unable to find on my own. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the recipe and the links.
