Method

Place the pork cubes and grinder parts in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, until very cold but not frozen solid.

Grind the pork through a medium plate into a chilled bowl.

Add the salt, pepper, sage, thyme, fennel, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ice water.

Mix with clean hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed and the mixture feels slightly tacky.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors develop.

Shape into patties or short skinless links.

To cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage, turning occasionally, until browned and the center reaches 160°F (71°C), about 12–15 minutes.

Keep raw sausage refrigerated and cook within 1–2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
