Tuscan Herb Sausage Delight is a flavorful twist on traditional sausage, infused with the fragrant herbs of Tuscany. This dish brings a taste of Italy to your table, perfect for any occasion.
Ground pork is the base of our sausage, providing a rich and savory foundation. Fresh rosemary and thyme add earthy, woodsy notes, essential to Tuscan cuisine. Garlic, minced finely, brings a sharp, aromatic zing. Fennel seeds lend a subtle anise flavor, a classic sausage element. A hint of heat comes from crushed red pepper flakes, balanced by salt and black pepper to enhance all the flavors. Finally, olive oil is used for cooking, imparting a touch of Mediterranean richness.
These sausages are a dream served alongside roasted vegetables or atop a fresh arugula salad. For a hearty breakfast, pair them with eggs and crusty bread. They also work great in a sandwich with sautéed peppers and onions.
Start by grabbing a large bowl—big enough for some serious mixing. Toss in your ground pork, then add the aromatic stars of the show: the rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Next, sprinkle in the fennel seeds and crushed red pepper flakes. Finish the seasoning with salt and black pepper. Now, dig in with your hands and mix everything together until it’s well combined. If you’re not a fan of getting your hands dirty, a sturdy spoon works too.
Once your mixture is ready, shape it into sausages or patties. The choice is yours, depending on your mood or the occasion. Now, heat up a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it’s shimmering, carefully place your sausages or patties in the pan. Let them cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, aiming for that perfect golden brown crust. Keep an eye on them to ensure they’re cooked through.
When they’re done, serve them up hot. If you’re prepping ahead, let them cool before storing them away for later. They reheat beautifully, so don’t worry about losing any flavor.
