Chicken Apple Breakfast Sausage on The Rhode Show
These are one of my favorite protein packed, egg alternative breakfast. You can use this with your favorite ground meat – I chose to do a mix of chicken and pork. All chicken, beef & pork, all pork, turkey- anything would be great here. Grab what is your families’ favorite, mix up – bake a double batch and freeze some for a later date.
These are so versatile; they are also great as a meatball or burger. Slice up some onion, schmear some honey mustard on a bun, (add bacon if you like it), and a little bibb lettuce and you have yourself a delightful dinner. Prefer a meatball? Turn it into a grain bowl, keep the same maple Dijon tahini with quinoa, chopped cucumber, onion, apple, pecans and goat cheese, yum! This would be my second favorite way to enjoy this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 Lb Gound Pork
1 Lb Ground Chicken
2 Apples, grated
4 Cloves of Garlic, finely chopped
2 Shallots, chopped
1 Bundle of Kale, shredded
Handful of your favorite herbs I chose – Thyme, Parsley & Sage, but Dill or Rosemary would be fabulous as well
2 Tbl Olive Oil
2 Eggs
1 Tbl Chia Seeds
2 Tbl Maple Syrup
1 Tbl Dijon
3 Tbl Granulated Garlic
3 Tbl Granulated Onion
Salt & Pepper
2 tsp Cinnamon or Apple Pie Spice
2 tsp Ground Sage
Dipping sauce ingredients:
½ Cup Tahini
3 Tbl Maple Syrup
1 Tbl Dijon
¼ Cup Warm Water (gradually added )
2 Cloves Garlic – finely grated, or chopped and sauteed
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
1. Saute the shallots and garlic with olive oil until translucent.
2. Mix in the kale and cook until wilted.
3. Stir in the fresh herbs and season with spices.
4. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the grated apples, chia seeds, Dijon, and maple syrup.
5. Once the mixture has cooled to the touch, add the eggs and ground meat. Combine the ingredients gently, taking care not to overmix, as this can make the meat tough.
6. Combine ingredients for the dipping sauce, whisk until smooth. Add warm water until desired thinness
Have by themselves, serve as an egg sandwich or over a bed of arugula with the maple tahini drizzle.
If you try these let me know! They are a favorite of mine.
