It’s truly an essential book to have on your book shelf.

I’ve met Diane only twice now, and we instantly clicked. I feel like I’ve known her for years! If you have met her, you can attest that she is beyond smart, so sweet, extremely talented and simply put, she knows what she is doing! She poured all of this into the Second Edition of Practical Paleo!

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 medium apple, shredded, with the juice squeezed out (about 1/4 cup)
• 1/4 cup minced onions
• 2 tablespoons Breakfast Sausage Blend (page 257)
• 1 to 2 fresh sage leaves, minced, plus additional whole leaves for garnish (optional)
• 2 teaspoons ghee or butter, for the pan

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork, apple, onions, spice blend, and chopped sage and mix with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated. Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties.
2. Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, place the patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned.
3. If desired, fry some sage leaves (about 1 per patty) in the pork fat left in the pan until crispy to garnish the sausage patties.
