In fact, if you plan to barbecue, it's better to shape the meat into flat hamburger-like sausage patties that fit in pita pockets or on thin rounds of French or Italian Bread. To make patties: Combine all ingredients and mix lightly. Shape into patties, six per pound of meat. Raw patties may be frozen for later use; Arrange them in a single layer on a cookie tin lined with aluminum foil. Cover with foil, label and freeze. Patties may be barbecued or broiled without defrosting. To cook: Place patties 3 inches from heat source and broil or barbecue for about two to three minutes per side (three to four minutes each side if frozen); be sure meat is cooked through. Per serving: 130 calories with pork; 100 calories with veal. From: Old Newspaper clipping Shared By: Pat Stockett From: Michael Loo Date: 08-04-00 MMMMM
