Step 1
Combine pork, breadcrumbs, onion, sage, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Mix with your hands until just combined—don't overwork. Divide into 4 equal portions.

Step 4
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Slide sausages into the pan—don't move them for 4 minutes until the bottoms turn deep golden.
Step 6
Flip each sausage carefully with a spatula and cook 4 more minutes until browned on top.
Step 7
