• servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon, unsalted butter

1 , onion, chopped fine

1 1/2 teaspoons, ground sage

1 teaspoon ground, fennel

1/4 teaspoon, ground allspice

1 pound, bulk breakfast sausage

1 3/4 cups quick-cooking, steel-cut oats

, Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons, vegetable oil, plus extra as needed

Directions

Here is the extracted direction from the image:

1. Grease an 8½ by 4½-inch nonstick loaf pan. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in sage, fennel, and allspice and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 4¼ cups water and sausage and mash with a potato masher until water and sausage are fully combined. Bring to a boil and stir in oats. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Here is the continuation of the directions extracted from the image:

2. Uncover and maintain a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is very thick and a rubber spatula dragged across the bottom of the pot leaves a trail for about 3 seconds, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Smooth the top and tap firmly on the counter. Let cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully chilled and firm, at least 3 hours or up to 2 days.

4. Run a thin knife around the edges of the goetta, then briefly set the bottom of the pan in hot water to loosen the goetta from the pan. Turn out the goetta onto a cutting board. Cut the desired number of ½-inch-thick slices from the loaf. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add up to 4 slices of goetta and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and let drain. Repeat as needed. Serve.

*(Wrap any remaining goetta in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or slice, wrap, and freeze for up to 1 month. To cook from frozen, reduce heat to medium-low and increase cooking time to 7 to 9 minutes per side.)*
