Italian Sausage

2 lbs. coarse-ground lean pork
1 tablespoon coarse-ground fennel*
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/8 teaspoon hot dried red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
4 tablespoons water


Mix together all the ingredients, and let rest in refrigerator for 1 hour. Then mix again. Stuff into casings, or use as is. Makes 2 pounds of sausage.

*Buy whole fennel seed, and pound it up in a mortar and pestle or small electric coffee
grinder.

If you don't have casings just make it into patties and cook it.
