    What makes it different
    Why the breed matters in a breakfast link
    A breakfast sausage lives or dies on fat. Lean pork makes a dry link, which is why so much commodity breakfast sausage carries water and binder. Mangalitsa is a lard breed — there is enough fat in the grind that it needs no help.
    Enough maple, not too much
    Seasoned to taste of pork with maple behind it, rather than the other way round. Breakfast sausage goes wrong when the sugar takes over, and this one does not.
    Links, not bulk
    Stuffed in natural lamb casing, so they brown on every side and hold their heat on a plate longer than a patty does.
    Mangalitsa fat renders at a lower temperature than commodity pork fat does. Cook these gentler than you think — medium heat, not high, or the fat is out of them before the middle is done.
    FROM THE FARM
    We raise Mangalitsa here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. They grow slower than a commodity hog and they put that time into fat rather than lean, which is the whole point of the breed.
    How to cook them
    1
    Cold pan, links in, a splash of water and a lid. Medium heat.
    2
    Four or five minutes covered. The steam cooks the middle while the outside stays pale.
    3
    Lid off, water gone, and let them brown in their own fat. Turn them once or twice.
    4
    Cook them through to 160°F — ground meat does not follow the 145°F whole-cut rule.
    What you're getting
    One package of Mangalitsa maple breakfast links.
    Links, not bulk — stuffed in natural lamb casing.
    Cook to 160°F, not the 145°F used for whole cuts.
    Mangalitsa raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
