Blackberry Sage Sausage Patties, by Diane

These were my lunches for the week courtesy of another Whole30 recipe I found on my feed. They were really easy to make and very flavorful! The flavor combination was really interesting, I think you could substitute berries and easily make them with ground chicken too. The only sub I made below is that blackberry seeds always get stuck in my teeth so instead of placing the whole berries into the patties I put them through a strainer and put the juice into the patties to make them more flavorful as well. I did crush one blackberry on the top of each of the patties for looks :)

Recipe by @therealfoodrds

Ingredients:

1lb ground pork
1/2 tsp each dried sage and thyme, garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup blackberries
Oil for cooking (I used coconut)

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients through pepper in a bowl. I put the blackberries through a strainer and put that liquid into the bowl as well in this step.

2.  Shape the mixture into about eight patties, gently pressing a few berries into each one. I skipped this step because of what I did in step one.

3. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat, adding in oil for cooking. Place the patties into the pan being careful not to crowd them. Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
