Italian Sausage

This is a spicy sausage adapted from my book Charcuterie for smaller portions. It’s a great all-purpose Italian-style sausage to have on hand, and works especially well in lasagne. If you like, form the sausage into patties and sauté in a teaspoon of oil until browned and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the patties.
