Late Summer Sausage

OMG.  I cannot stop eating.

And cooking.

There is so much good stuff coming out of my garden!

Pair that with the bounty everywhere else and

let's just say I'm grateful for my exercise group tomorrow morning

This morning I discovered that all the green tomatoes

 I had picked are ripening

So for lunch I made Jovial brown rice Capellini

and tossed it with fresh basil, tomatoes, Spruce Hill Farm goat cheese

and olive oil

Then for dinner tonight I celebrated growing my first ever Cauliflower

by roasting it with apples, red onion, garlic and thyme

and served it with homemade sausage that celebrates

this late summer food insanity

Besides being delicious, ancho chili powder is a key

ingredient and I know many of you just bought some

to make my latest chicken recipe

So, I thought I'd share!

 

LATE SUMMER PORK SAUSAGE PATTIES

1 T chopped fresh sage

1 tsp dried marjoram (or 1 T fresh, chopped)

1 + tsp Kosher salt (to taste)

3/4 -1 tsp Ancho Chili Powder

1/2 tsp ground fenugreek

1/3 cup chopped sweet onion, or scallions

1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries 

( I like cherries in this better)

 a bit of freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. organic ground pork

 (mine is from Old Ackley Farm of course)

I mix everything but the pork together first and then

mix in the pork - gently - or you will make the 

sausage tough.

Shape into small patties, I usually get 11 or 12

and pan fry in a bit of coconut oil until

nicely browned and cooked through.

Enjoy!
