Source of Recipe


From "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook"






List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. ground pork
  
• 1 lb. ground beef
  
• 1 lb. ground veal
  
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 bunch green onions, white part and 2 inches green, minced
  
• 1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded and minced
  
• 2 tsp ground cumin
  
• 1 tsp dried thyme
  
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
  
• Pinch ground nutmeg
  
• Red pepper flakes, to taste
  
• Salt, to taste
  
• Unsalted butter, for frying
  






Instructions



1. Mix the pork, beef and veal thoroughly in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, green onions, bell pepper, cumin, thyme, fennel, nutmeg and red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly with your hands. Fry a small amount in a skillet until no longer pink. Taste for seasonings and adjust in the meat mixture if necessary.
   
   
2. Divide the meat mixture in half. Roll each half into a log 7 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs separately in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.
   
   
3. Cut the sausage logs into 1/2-inch slices. Fry the patties in a little bit of butter until well-browned on each side. Serve with eggs, pancakes or French toast.
   
   Makes 8 to 10 portions.
