I had some pork mince to use up and I wanted something simple and tasty to do with it.
I found this Homemade Maple Apple Breakfast Sausage recipe
over on Savory Lotus that sounded good.
As much as possible, I try to use my Thermomix and so I decided to do the beginning steps in that ...
Also, I didn't bother peeling the apple, I used more onion, more herbs and I used smoked garlic ...
Here's my list of ingredients:
500g pork mince
1 small red onion
2 cloves smoked garlic (or regular would be fine too)
1 apple, cored and quartered
2 cloves smoked garlic (or regular would be fine too)
1 apple, cored and quartered
a handful of fresh herbs (I used parsley, oregano, chives, thyme)
2 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp ground sage
(oil for cooking but I did ours on the BBQ so didn't need any oil)

2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp ground sage

Shape into patties of your desired size.

If cooking on BBQ ... heat it up (we have a gas BBQ and I make sure it is up to at least 200 Celsius). Once it's heated, put the patties on the hot BBQ and shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Rotate patties (don't flip them yet, just rotate them so that the like 90 degrees) shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Now flip the patties. Shut the lid. Set timer for 3 minutes. Rotate patties again. Shut the lids. Set timer for 3 minutes. The patties should now be ready. Just cut one in half and make sure it's cooked through.
