50 min

* 2 pounds pork shoulder or butt, cut into 1-inch cubes
* 1/2 pound pork fat, cubed
* 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
* 3 tablespoons minced green onions
* 1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
* 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic

Directions

Special equipment: a heavy duty mixer with grinder attachment or food processor with metal blade

In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix well to combine. Transfer to the refrigerator for 2 hours before grinding.

Grind the meat mixture in a meat grinder or a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Divide the meat into 4 portions and place on 4 pieces of plastic wrap. Shape the meat into log shapes and roll tightly in the plastic, twisting the ends tightly to compress into a tight sausage log. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

When ready to cook, slice the sausage logs into 1/2-inch thick slices and shape into neat patties. Cook in a preheated skillet or cast iron griddle until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain briefly before serving.
