Step 1

In a medium sized mixing bowl combine 1lb/500g pork mince with 1/2cup fresh breadcrumbs, 1 tsp dried sage & parsley, 3/4 tsp, salt, 1/2 tsp thyme, cracked black pepper & crushed fennel seeds, 1 beaten egg, 1 diced spring onion and 1 minced clove of garlic. Don't overwork the meat, only mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

The mixture should come together nicely, but if for whatever reasons it's too wet to mould (different pork will have different water contents) then just add a few pinches more breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 6 (around 1/3cup cup portions). Gently roll into sausage shapes of about 6" length. They will shrink slightly in the pan.

Step 4

Heat up 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add in sausages and turn each one over a few times to sear the outside. Continue cooking, flipping the sausages every now and then until nicely browned on the outside and piping hot through the centre (around 10-12mins).
