How to Make Italian Sausage Sweet 2
- In a large bowl, combine 1 large onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add 2 pounds Italian sausage meat to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the sausage mixture into patties (approximately 1/2 inch thick) or stuff into sausage casings according to package directions.
- For best results, freeze patties or sausages for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them maintain their shape during cooking.
- Cook patties in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Alternatively, grill sausages over medium heat, turning occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
