Chef's Sourcing & Quality Tips:
- Produce & Aromatics: Always use fresh whole aromatics and seasonal herbs rather than dehydrated powders when possible.
- Cooking Oils: Utilize cold-pressed oils with appropriate smoke points such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil.
- Salt & Seasoning: Season from a modest height above the pan to ensure an even, uniform crystalline dispersion.

Follow these sequential steps with careful attention to sensory cues and cooking temperatures:
Step 1: Technique & Execution
Normally, pork is served with fruit or fruit-flavored sauces to help enhance the taste -- crown roast with apple sauce, pork chops with stewed apples, and my favorite, pork sausage with candied yamsStep 2: Technique & Execution
In this recipe the cubed yam is added to the sausage prior to cooking for not only flavor, but eye appealStep 3: Technique & Execution
INGREDIENTS: ● 5 pounds ground pork ● 2 tsps dried thyme ● 1(16 ounce) can Bruce's yams, drained ● 1 tbsp cayenne pepper ● 1 tbsp black pepper ● 2 tbsps salt ● 1 1/2 tbsps rubbed sage ● 1 1/2 tbsps granulated garlic ● 1 tsp ginger ● 1/4 cup chopped parsley ● 1 1/2 tsps nutmeg ● 1 cup iced water METHOD: When making sausage of any type, it is always best to keep the meat chilled to 35-40 degrees FStep 4: Technique & Execution
