Sicilian-Style Sausage Patties
Description
These Sicilian-style sausage patties are a deliciously simple way to enjoy the bold flavors of Italian cuisine without the hassle of casing meat. Made with lean pork shoulder, aromatic fennel seeds, garlic, and a splash of Chianti, these patties deliver a robust, savory taste with a hint of sweetness from the wine. They are incredibly versatile: great served in warm pita pockets, on crusty Italian bread, or alongside roasted vegetables. Whether you are hosting a barbecue or looking for a quick weeknight dinner, these patties cook quickly and can be frozen raw for later convenience. The result is a tender, juicy patty packed with authentic Mediterranean herbs and spices that bring the taste of Sicily to your home kitchen.Ingredients
Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, Chianti wine, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, fennel seeds, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
-
Mix the ingredients lightly but thoroughly until evenly distributed. Do not overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
-
Shape the meat mixture into 12 flat patties, approximately six per pound of meat, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
-
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If broiling, position the oven rack about 3 inches from the heat source.
-
Place the patties on the grill or a broiler pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
-
If cooking frozen patties, increase the cooking time to 3 to 4 minutes per side, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160&# 194;°F (71ðC).
