Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground pork, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 4 short, thick sausages, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Step 3
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the sausages for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (no pink inside).
Step 4
Place 1 whole bell pepper on the grill alongside the sausages. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Step 5
Serve the sausages hot with the grilled pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of mustard if you like.
