1/2lb. sliced pancetta (do not buy the already cubbed pancetta)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon rosemary, chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, more if you like it really spicy
2 Tablespoons oil (any kind will do)
Chop the pancetta into small pieces.
In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients, except oil. Using your hands is the best tool for this process. Form mixture into patties. You can do this part in advance and keep the patties in the refrigerator until ready to cook them.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add sausage patties and cook about 3-5 minutes per side. If you see it is getting too browned on one side turn the heat down a bit. They need to cook slowly so the fat renders out in the pancetta.
