Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 bell pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground pork, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.

  2. 2

    Shape the mixture into 4 short, thick sausages, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.

  3. 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the sausages for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (no pink inside).

  4. 4

    Place 1 whole bell pepper on the grill alongside the sausages. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until the skin is charred and blistered.

  5. 5

    Serve the sausages hot with the grilled pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of mustard if you like.
