Sage Breakfast Patties

Ingredient Description:

1 lb. coarsely ground fresh pork, chilled

8 oz. coarsely ground fresh pork fat

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

2 Tbsp. fresh sage, minced

2 Tbsp. fresh thyme, minced

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

2 tsp. vegetable oil

In a medium bowl, combine the pork, fat, garlic, salt, pepper, sage, thyme and cayenne pepper. Mix the ingredients and chill for at least one hour.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Form into balls and then flatten into patties.

Add the patties and sauté for four minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and serve.
