Easy Gluten-Free Pork Sausage Recipe
Description:
Many breakfast sausages use wheat flour or bread crumbs as a binder, but this simple recipe guarantees a gluten-free option that’s perfect for any breakfast or brunch. Whether you prefer your sausage in patty form or just fried up like a hamburger, this recipe offers a delicious, versatile choice. If you’re aiming for patties, add an egg and rice flour to bind the ingredients together. For a straightforward fried pork sausage without the fuss of patties, simply skip the egg and rice flour.
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 teaspoon black pepper 🌶️
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage 🌿
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder 🌱
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 🌰
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 🌿
- 1 egg (optional, for patties) 🥚
- 1/4 cup rice flour (optional, for patties) 🍚
- 1 pound ground pork (or more, depending on how many patties you want) 🐖
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork with the salt, black pepper, dried sage, ginger powder, ground nutmeg, and dried thyme. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat. If you’re making patties, also add the egg and rice flour at this stage. The egg helps to bind the mixture, and the rice flour adds a bit of structure, making it easier to form the patties.
-
-
Form Patties (if desired): Once everything is well combined, shape the mixture into 6 to 8 patties, depending on your preferred size. If you’re opting out of the patties, skip this step and proceed directly to frying.
-
Cook: Heat a frying pan over medium heat. If you’re making patties, place them in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked through and have a nice golden-brown exterior. If you’re just cooking the ground pork as loose sausage, cook it in the pan, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Serve: Serve hot, either on a bun for a quick breakfast sausage sandwich, alongside eggs and toast, or crumbled over a hearty breakfast hash. Enjoy!
