Hazelnut Breakfast Sausages





Yields
Makes 2 dozen 3-in. patties

These easy pork patties go with sweet breakfast dishes like pancakes. Prep and Cook Time: 1 hour. Notes: Well-wrapped uncooked sausage patties will keep in the freezer for 2 months. Cook as directed in step 4, adding 3 to 4 minutes to the total cooking time.

 3/4 cup hazelnuts
 3 1/2 pounds ground pork
 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
 1/4 cup hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
 1 tablespoon honey
  About 1 tbsp. coarse kosher salt
  About 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
 1 teaspoon mace
Step 1
1

Preheat oven to 375°. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Wrap toasted nuts in a cloth and rub to remove as much skin as possible. Let cool. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until nuts resemble coarse cornmeal.

Break pork into small chunks and put in a large bowl. Sprinkle ground hazelnuts, parsley, hazelnut liqueur, honey, salt, pepper, and mace over the pork. Using your hands, gently mix all ingredients together.

Scoop out 1/4-cup portions of sausage mixture and form into 3-in.-wide patties. Working in batches, cook patties in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip patties, reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and fry until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
