Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 tbsp pure Canadian maple syrup
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the center of the grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins and light the paper.
4. Let the fire burn for about 20 minutes to heat the grill.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Mixture

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, maple syrup, salt, black pepper, sage, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Shape the mixture into small, round patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 3: Sear the Patties

1. Once the center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, place the patties on it.
2. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 4: Finish Cooking on the Flat Cooktop

1. Move the seared patties to the outer flat cooktop.
2. Cook for another 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Remove the patties from the grill when they reach 145°F as they will continue to cook to 160°F off the heat.
2. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• Use pure Canadian maple syrup for the best flavor.
• Let the sausage patties reach room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Keep a close eye on the searing process—high heat locks in juices quickly.
• Use butter on the cooktop for an extra layer of rich flavor.

Variations

• Spicy Maple Sausage: Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for extra heat.
• Herb-Infused: Mix in 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme and rosemary.
• Honey Mustard: Replace half the maple syrup with honey and add 1 tsp Dijon mustard.
• Apple Cinnamon: Add 1/4 cup finely diced apple and a pinch of cinnamon.
• Smoky BBQ: Mix in 1 tbsp smoked paprika and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce.

Best Pairings

• Fluffy buttermilk pancakes with extra maple syrup
