Too much Sage....how to fix

[andrewmichelle]

I made some breakfast sausage with hog and deer. Used an LEM pack...even with 75% usage way to much sage flavor. Like a bag of leaves. Any ideas on how to cover this up with another spice?

You could add more meat, that's probably about the only way to tone it down.

Like I always say, dilution is the solution to pollution.  Add more meat.

I mixed the batch. No more to add right now. So looking for a fix as I fry it up.

AM, Run down to the store and add some ground beef and ground pork.

what size lem breakfast sausage package did you use and what was you meat amount

 

[andrewmichelle]

Apologies breakfast sausage kit was Hi Mountain not LEM. LEM I use for sticks, and Pepperoni are great!

The Hi Mountain I made for a 12 lb batch I believe. Based on the usage chart provided.

double check your usage amounts. mixing may be the culprit. May have had a concentrated area of mix. try another sample.  Adding more meat is ok but you will have to add more salt. add some binder and a little water. white pepper will settle down the sage too. 1/2 tsp / 2 lbs.
