Homemade Seasoning For Breakfast Sausage

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage leaves (or 1 teaspoon ground sage)
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed (or you can use anise. skip this if you don't care for that "licorice" flavor.) (optional)

Recipe

• 1 stir the spices together and mix into 2 pounds of ground lamb. you can cook it right away but it tastes better if you refrigerate it for 3 to 24 hours to let the flavors blend together.
• 2 notes: i form the loaf into a roll, and freeze for a few hours just before cooking so i can slice it easily for cooking. you can also form in into patties and layer them with pieces of wax paper, then seal in a plastic bag for freezing. then you can just take out individual servings. try adding red pepper flakes for a spicier sausage, or maple syrup for a maple sausage.
