Pork Mince and Apple Sausage Fritter
This delightful dish marries the rich savoriness of pork mince with the sweet, tart notes of apples, creating a harmony of flavors that dance on the palate. Inspired by rustic European traditions, these fritters are both comforting and novel, offering a modern twist on the classic sausage and apple pairing.
Ingredients
1 lb ground pork (minced pork) - Preferably organic and ethically sourced- 1 cup granny smith apple - Peeled, cored, and grated
1 medium onion - Finely chopped
1 tsp sage - Finely chopped, fresh
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper - Freshly ground
2 large eggs - Lightly beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs - Plain, fresh
2 tbsp vegetable oil - For frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, grated apple, onion, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the beaten eggs to the mixture to bind the ingredients, followed by the breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly but gently to maintain a light texture.
- Shape the mixture into small patties about 7cm (2.75 inches) in diameter and 1.5cm (0.6 inches) thick.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the patties, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for approximately 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F).
Notes
For a touch of spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Substitute apple with pear for a softer sweetness.
