pork patties

Recipe video above. This is your favourite pork sausage in patty form. It&#39;s so easy - just pork mince (ground pork) mixed with a spice blend. Great to make ahead and freeze, then cook up on demand.Serve for dinner with garlic rice and steamed green beans tossed with French Dressing. O make burgers! Also great for breakfast with scrambled eggs on toast. (I&#39;d still use ketchup :) )

Homemade sausage patties

pork

tsp dried ground sage ((secret ingredient! Note 1))

tsp dried thyme (, crushed with fingers (Note 2))

tsp onion powder ((sub more garlic powder))

garlic powder ((sub more onion powder))

tsp black pepper

tsp sugar ((optional))

olive oil

Ketchup

Make patties - Place sausage pattie ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands. Divide into 8 and form 1 cm / 0.4&quot; thick patties. Make a shallow dent in the middle of the surface - this prevents the patties from doming as they cook.

Cook 4 minutes - Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat. Cook half the patties for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Heat remaining oil and cook remaining patties.

Serve with ketchup! (See recipe card intro for serving ideas)

Few things can beat the comfort of a plate of Pork Cutlets with a side of potatoes and a beetroot salad.

Following the portion size in this recipe, I tend to serve 2 patties per portion (3 if you&#x27;re starving).

Slice half of the bread roll into pieces and place the slices into a container. Cover with milk, so that it’s fully covered. [You could also use stock or water instead]. Soak for at least 5 minutes.

As you wait for the roll to soak, peel the onion and dice it finely. The finer the onion pieces are, the easier it will be to form the patties later.

Heat up a touch of oil on the frying pan (skillet). Add the diced onion in and fry on a medium-low for 10 minutes or so, until the onion turns nicely golden. Move it over onto a plate and set it aside to cool.

Start kneading the meat mass (I do so by hand, to avoid extra cleaning). To make the process easier, you can add a tablespoon or two of water. It takes around 5 minutes of kneading to get a smooth mass. Don’t try to skip this process, this is important!

Form equally sized balls from the ground mixture. In my case, one cutlet usually weighs about 3-3.3 oz (85-95 g), and I end up with eight of them.

First, form each cutlet by hand into a perfect ball, then lengthen and flatten it slightly (resembling a flattened tic-tac).

If any onion pieces are sticking out on the surface, you can push them in and reshape the patty again.

Coat each cutlet in breadcrumbs.

Add the patties in, and fry them for 90 seconds from each side (that’s 3 minutes in total). Do be mindful of the time, we’re frying on a high heat here.

Reduce the heat to medium and cover the frying pan with a lid. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then flip the patties and fry for another 30 seconds.

If you’re unsure about the doneness, you can remove one cutlet onto a plate and cut it in half. If the inside has a uniform, slightly grey colour, that means the patties are done. Don’t extent the cooking time unnecessarily, that will turn them dry.

Line a plate with 2 layers of paper towel and carefully move the cutlets over. That way, we’ll get rid of the excess fat.

And we’re done! Smacznego.

Fragrant, explosively flavorful, and fast enough to whip up on tightly scheduled nights, this vibrant Vietnamese inspired pork patties salad is deeply satisfying without weighing you down. The super fresh salad laden with crisp vegetables, invigorating herbs, and delicately chewy rice noodles acts as a light counterpoint to the succulent, savoury, meaty grilled pork patties.

TO MAKE THE NUOC CHAM

Use your hands or a mix-and-chop to mix all of the patty ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Divide the pork mixture into 12 equal sized portions, roll into balls, and set them on a plate. Slightly flatten the balls into 1/2-inch thick patties.

TO MAKE THE PORK PATTIES

IF USING A CHARCOAL GRILL (preferred method): Completely open bottom vent. In half of the grill, start 6 quarts of charcoal briquettes. Set cooking grate in place. When coals are partially ash covered, proceed.

IF USING A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.

IF USING A GRILL PAN: Brush lightly with cooking oil and place over medium high heat.

IF USING AN AIR FRYER: Preheat air fryer for 10 minutes at 400ºF.

Oil cooking grate/pan/or air fryer.

TO PREPARE THE GRILL/GRILL PAN/AIR FRYER

IF USING A CHARCOAL GRILL: Cook directly over coals, covered, with the lid valve open completely for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until well charred.

IF USING A GAS GRILL: Cook on the grate, covered, for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until well charred.

IF USING A GRILL PAN: Cook over medium high heat for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until well charred.

IF USING AN AIR FRYER: Air fry in a single layer without crowding the air fryer basket for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, or until charred in places. You may need to do this in batches, depending on your air fryer's size.

Transfer the cooked patties to the bowl with nuoc cham and gently toss to coat. Let stand for 5 minutes.

COOK PATTIES AS FOLLOWS:

Divide the salad greens between 4 plates OR pile onto a serving platter. Tear the cilantro and mint over the greens. Pile the grated carrots and rice noodles on top of the greens (dividing between plates if serving individually). Use tongs to lift the patties from the sauce and arrange them on the plate. Serve with the nuoc cham and optional sriracha for drizzling over each serving.
