Fennel is the spice that gives Italian sausage its Italian flavor. Often the fennel is a mixture of whole or cracked fennel seed and ground fennel. The whole or cracked fennel seed will help to give good visibility to the spice while the ground fennel will contribute a very distinctive fennel flavor.
The Inspiration behind my Fennel Sausage Recipe:
A few days back, I got this lovely message from Wendy, a new follower of the blog. She had been checking out my Sage Breakfast Sausage recipe and reached out with a special request.
Wendy had fallen in love with a pizza primarily because of its sweet fennel sausage topping. She was struggling to recreate that distinct flavor at home, and thats where I came in – it sounded like a challenge I couldnt resist! So, here we are with my take on Sweet Fennel Sausage, crafted with Wendys request in mind.
