This is a fail-safe way to spice up freshly ground pork. The distinguishing flavors of all the fennel and spices combined with the slow and low heat from the pepper flakes and zing from the vinegar powder really makes for a great sausage. You can also add ricotta and Parmigiano for a milder, lighter sausage or even meatballs.
