Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1 small red bell pepper, seeded, de-ribbed and cut into 2-inch chunks
2/3 cup fresh cilantro
1 1/3 pounds mild or unseasoned pork sausage, removed from casing
1/3 cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 scant tablespoon cumin
1 scant tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 degrees.
  • Place the garlic and jalapeno in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 10 times to coarsely chop. Add onion, and pulse 10 more times. Add the bell pepper and cilantro and pulse 10 more times. There should be about 3 cups vegetables chopped medium fine.
  • Combine all of the ingredients.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Form into mounded ovals that do not touch in a 9-by-13-inch heatproof glass pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. (Meat temperature can be checked with a thermometer; it should be 145 degrees.) Remove from oven, and let rest 5 minutes. Using a pancake turner, remove each loaf and serve.
