Irish sausage recipe

Print Recipe
Homemade Irish Sausages are simple and easy to prepare — even if you don’t have a meat grinder. They don’t even need the fussiness of casings which is why I really enjoy them. It’s just a quick mix of the spices and then off to fry in the pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg , lightly beaten
  • 1 clove garlic , crushed [see note 1]
  • Salt and ground black pepper , to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Mix everything together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Fry a tiny bit of the mixture in a pan with a little olive to check the seasonings. Re-season the rest of the mixture, if needed.
  • Divide the mixture into twelve equal portions and shape each one into a sausage link or patty.
  • Cook sausages in a skillet until cooked through and the juices run clear or a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160 degrees F - about 15 minutes.

Notes

For best flavor, allow the sausage mixture to rest before shaping.
Always cook to an internal temperature of 160°F.
Adjust seasoning after cooking a small test patty.
