Ingredients

    1 lb pork tenderloin or very lean ground pork
    3 Tbsp finely grated onion
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 tsp agave nectar
    1 tsp dried sage
    3/4 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp dried thyme
    1/4 tsp ground black pepper
    1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Remove all visible fat from pork. Cut into 1/2” pieces. Place pork, onion, garlic, agave, sage, salt, thyme, and pepper in bowl of food processor. Pulse just until mixture is well combined and cohesive. Transfer to bowl, cover with plastic, and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow flavors to marry. There will be about 2 c mixture. Using about 2 Tbsp mixture per sausage, shape into 3”
x 1” links.

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausages, cover, and cook about 3 minutes. Remove cover, turn sausages, reduce heat to medium-low, recover pan, and cook until sausages are crisp and cooked through, about 2 minutes. You may have to work in 2 batches. Drain on paper towels.
Makes 8 servings (2 links each).
