Sausage

We received another half pig from Bob and Barb this year (thank you!!) and are once again exploring new pork recipes :) Last week, when I made lasagna, I used a version of this recipe for the italian sausage. We have also consistently used this breakfast sausage recipe for things like Sweet Potato Hash and many other breakfast needs :) Both are re-written below for your convenience.

3 cloves garlic, pressed
1 t paprika
1/2 t fennel seeds
1 t salt
1 t pepper
1/4 t cayenne pepper

In a medium bowl, mix pressed garlic and pork. Mix remaining ingredients in smaller bowl then add to pork. Mix well with hands.
