Recipe For Homemade Sausage Spices



This is a simple blend of dried herbs and spices for anyone who makes homemade sausages or burgers. It also makes a decent seasoning for any recipe that uses minced pork.

Ingredients: (makes about ½ a cup)

2 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp dried oregano
1-2 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

Coarsely grind the rosemary, salt, fennel seeds, cumin and chili flakes in your coffee grinder.

Mix with the garlic powder, dried basil and oregano.

Store in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight and use within 2-3 months.

Enjoy!
