Ingredients
- 1 kg Pork Mince
Method
- Step 1: Prepare seasoning: In a large bowl, mix 1 kg pork mince with zest/juice of 1-2 oranges, 3-4 minced garlic cloves, 1-2 finely chopped leeks (or grated onion, sweated in oil), 2-3 tbsp chopped parsley, 1-2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½-1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp crushed fennel seeds, salt, pepper, and optional red wine/ouzo splash.
- Step 2: Mix thoroughly by hand for 4-5 min until sticky. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours (or overnight) for flavors to develop.
- Step 3: Shape: If using hog casings (soaked/rinsed), stuff mixture into links every 10-15 cm. Otherwise, form into patties or small logs.
- Step 4: Cook: Grill over medium heat 10-15 min, turning until browned and internal temp 71°C/160°F. Or pan-fry in olive oil 8-12 min, turning occasionally. Prick links to prevent bursting.
- Step 5: Serve hot, sliced, with lemon wedges, tzatziki, grilled peppers/onions, or in pita.
