This is a simple breakfast sausage in patty form. So easy! The key is to get freshly and coarsely ground pork shoulder from a real live butcher.

Ingredients

  • coarsely ground pork shoulder: 1 pound
  • fennel seeds, or more to taste - lightly: 2 tsp (crushed)
  • freshly grated orange zest: 2 tsp
  • kosher salt: 1 tsp
  • black pepper: 0.5 tsp (freshly ground)
  • Italian herb seasoning: 0.5 tsp (dried)
  • red pepper flakes: 0.125 tsp
  • pinch freshly grated nutmeg: 1 piece
