Skinless Hickory Smoked Sage Breakfast Sausage Links

[bamabob]

Saw somewhere a video about wrapping sausage in corn husks and smoking them.  Thought I'd give it a try.  Had some fresh ground pork butt, seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic, cumin, thyme & sage.  Rolled in soaked corn husks, on the keg diffused @ 250* for about an hour and a half with lots of hickory for smoke.  Browned up in a skillet.

Just on:

Well how were they?

Well, they were pretty darn good.  The corn husks added a mild flavor profile similar to grits.  Very moist and flavorful.

Some of those with fried eggs sounds good.

That's exactly how I had them, a dribble of maple syrup on them and then covered with a couple of eggs with the sunny hot runny yolk drenching them in goodness.

Very interesting, and they look good!

How was the smoke flavor? Did the smoke seem to penetrated the corn husks well enough?

The smoke was a little subdued, but blended well with the corn flavor profile.
