Рецепт Italian Sausage
There are dozens of sausages in the butcher case here in Poland, but I've yet to find Italian sausage. I try to embrace the local cuisine, but every now and then you need something for spaghetti sauce or a hot sausage sandwich.
It's easy to find ground pork here, so I've taken to making my own bulk Italian sausage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork (ours is very lean, so I add a little olive oil to the pan when cooking)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds (I've used anise seeds in a pinch)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
Directions
Combine all ingredients until spices are evenly distributed.
Chill, covered, one hour or overnight

We like to make a patty of sausage, grill it, top with (melted) provolone cheese, and serve it on a crusty roll with mustard.
