Pistachio Sausages or Patties

3 lbs ground pork

1/2 c pistachios, shelled (about 1 cup before you shell them)

1 clove garlic

1 1/2 t salt

1 T fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 t crushed red pepper

1 t coarsely ground black pepper

Extra black pepper to taste.

Mix all ingredients. For sausages, divide into four portions and roll into sausage shapes using plastic wrap. Otherwise they can be shaped into patties and eaten as the main course or hamburger style. Store mix in refrigerator until just before cooking. Discard plastic wrap. Coat surface with black pepper to taste. Grill over high heat until cooked through and browned, turning frequently.
