Helpful Hints

Plain pork sausage or just ground high-fat pork both work for this recipe.

Serve with fried chicken, grilled lamb, broiled salmon or make a hash with eggs and potatoes.

Wine suggestions: serve with a big, bold Spanish red (Ribera del Duero or Priorat) or a warm-weather, ripe Syrah (California or Australian Shiraz).
