Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Lbs Ground Pork
  • 1/4 Cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 3 Large Garlic Cloves, finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Thyme (can substitute with 1 1/2 tsp dried)
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (can substitute with 1 tbsp dried)
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Paprika

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir really well to make sure that the seasoning is well incorporated.
  • Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop out the pork mixture and form a patties. Place the patties on a plate and set aside.
  • In a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Cook the sausage patties in batches, adding as many to the skillet that you can (you will need room to flip them).
  • Cook 3-4 minutes per side until the sausage patties are completely cooked through and a little crisp on the the outside. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
  • Cook the remaining patties, adding more olive oil if necessary. Cook the same as the first batch, until the patties are cooked through. Serve warm. Enjoy!
  • Leftover sausage patties may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Sausages can also be stored frozen in a plastic freezer bag for up to one month.
