Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 medium leeks, light green parts only, minced
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs, divided
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, divided
¼ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup shredded Havarti cheese
⅓ cup milk
2 large eggs, divided
½ teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon milk
¼ cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Pour 1 tablespoon oil into a deep pan and heat over medium heat. Add leeks and saute until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add thyme and garlic; saute for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a mixing bowl and place in the refrigerator until cooled to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and add 1/2 of the bread crumbs, 1/2 of the flour, the Cheddar cheese, Havarti cheese, 1/3 cup milk, 1 egg, and mustard powder. Mix until a dough forms. Move to the refrigerator until cooled and congealed, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk the remaining egg and 1 teaspoon milk together in a bowl. Add remaining flour to another bowl. Place remaining bread crumbs in a third bowl.
  • Roll a handful of the leek mixture into the shape of a sausage. Roll in the flour, coat in the egg wash, then dredge it in the bread crumbs. Repeat to form remaining "sausage" links.
  • Heat 1/2 to 3/4 inch of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry each link in the hot oil until the outsides are crispy and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, working in batches if needed. Transfer to a paper towel-lined sheet to drain grease.

Closer to a fritter than what most of us think of as a sausage, these cheese and bread cakes are held together with egg and fried until the outside is crisp and the interior is soft and melted.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 leek, finely chopped
2 sprigs thyme, leaves removed
1 1/2 cups Caerphilly cheese (or a combination of sharp Cheddar and Havarti)
1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, divided
2 eggs, divided
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add leek and thyme leaves and cook, stirring, until onions are soft and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine cheese, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 egg, milk, mustard, and reserved leek mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Mix with hands until all the ingredients are moist and you can easily form a sausage shape with the mixture. Divide mixture into 8 pieces and form each piece into the shape of a sausage.
  • Place remaining breadcrumbs, flour, and remaining beaten egg in separate plates. Bread each sausage by coating it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  • In a high sided skillet or saucepan, heat 1-inch of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook sausages until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined place and season with salt. Serve immediately.

WELSH GLAMORGAN VEGETARIAN SAUSAGES



Welsh Glamorgan Vegetarian Sausages image

This is a classic Welsh recipe, often affectionately called a "Poor Man's Sausage" because of the lack of meat. If you cannot buy Caerphilly or Lancashire cheese you could substitute a strong Cheddar cheese. This would make a good meal for vegetarians. The recipe is slightly adapted from Jane Grigson's book English Food.

  • Mix the cheese, breadcrumbs and leek or spring onion in the processor.
  • Whisk the yolks, herbs, mustard and seasoning together.
  • Add to the breadcrumb and cheese mixture and whizz again in the food processor.

  • Serve with potatoes or, for a lighter meal, with perhaps some grilled tomato and a salad.

1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
150g/5oz Caerphilly cheese or Welsh cheddar, finely grated
2 free-range eggs, separated
1 tsp English mustard

2 medium red onions, finely sliced
1 red chilli, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
75g/2½oz light brown muscovado sugar
5 tbsp white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • For the sausages, melt the butter in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the leek gently for 8-10minutes, or until very soft but not coloured.
  • Put 100g/3½oz of the breadcrumbs, the parsley, thyme and cheese in a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Beat the egg yolks with the mustard, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper in a separate bowl.
  • Remove the frying pan from the heat and tip the leeks into the bowl with the breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and mix together well with a large wooden spoon until well combined. Divide the leek mixture into eight portions and roll into sausage shapes. Place the sausages onto a tray lined with clingfilm.

Dip the sausages one at a time into the beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated, then place on the baking tray. Chill the sausages in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, for the relish, heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan and fry the onions for 20 minutes, or until very soft and just beginning to colour. Add the chilli and garlic to the pan and cook for a further five minutes, stirring regularly.
  • Sprinkle with the sugar and pour over the vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for five further minutes, or until the liquid is well reduced and the relish becomes thick and glossy. Remove from the heat, set aside to cool for a few minutes then tip into a serving dish.
  • Heat the oil into a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sausages over a medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly until golden-brown and crisp. Serve the sausages with a good spoonful of chilli and onion relish and some thinly sliced runner beans.

GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES



GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES image

Categories     Cheese     Fry     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g fresh white breadcrumbs
150g Caerphilly cheese or Cheddar cheese, crumbled or grated
half a leek or 6 spring onions, very finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped parsley
half tsp thyme, leaves only
black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 tsp English mustard or Dijon mustard
3 tbsp milk
45 g butter

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together 150g of the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the cheese, leek or spring onion, parsley, thyme and plenty of salt and freshly ground pepper, blending well. 2. Beat the eggs with the mustard. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this mixture and stir the remaining egg mixture into the breadcrumb mixture. If it seems a little dry add a touch of milk to help bind it together without making it sloppy. 3. Divide the mixture into eight and shape each portion into a sausage about 2.5cm thick. Put the reserved egg and mustard mixture into a shallow bowl and spread the remaining breadcrumbs onto a plate. One by one dip the sausages into the egg mixture and coat in the crumbs. If you have time, chill the sausages in the fridge for at least half an hour to firm up. 4. To fry the sausage, heat the butter or oil in the frying pan and fry the sausages briskly for about 5 minutes until brown, reduce the heat and fry for a further 3-4 minutes. 5. To grill, preheat the grill. Drizzle the sausages with a little melted butter or oil and grill the sausages under a pre-heated grill until well browned on all sides, turning frequently.

GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES



Glamorgan sausages image

Make your own Glamorgan sausages, a traditional Welsh vegetarian sausage featuring cheese, leeks and breadcrumbs. Make a batch of 12 and freeze any you don't eat

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

50g butter
2 large leeks, sliced
400g fresh soft white fine breadcrumbs
2 tsp thyme leaves
4 large eggs, separated
400g Caerphilly or strong mature cheddar, finely grated
1 heaped tbsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard or 2 tsp English mustard
50g plain flour, for dusting
100ml vegetable oil for frying, plus a little extra if required

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until foaming, then fry the leeks with a pinch of salt for 5-10 mins until soft. Leave to cool slightly.
  • Put 200g soft breadcrumbs, the thyme, egg yolks, cheese, mustard and a generous grinding of pepper in a bowl and mix to combine. Stir in the fried leeks, and any butter left in the pan. Season with salt and mix well using your hands.
  • Mould the mixture into 12 sausages (divide and weigh for accuracy if you like). You may find damp hands help, cleaning your hands every so often to stop them sticking. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and freeze for 10 mins until firm, or chill for 30 mins in the fridge.
  • While the sausages are firming up, whisk the egg whites in a shallow bowl with a pinch of salt until lightly foamy. Put the flour and some of the remaining breadcrumbs onto separate plates.
  • Dust the chilled and firm sausages in the flour, then dunk in the egg white, and roll in the breadcrumbs. Top up the plate of breadcrumbs as required. Chill for at least 1 hr and up to 24hrs before frying.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the sausages in batches, turning them gently every minute, for 4-6 mins, until golden and crisp all over. Add a little more oil between batches if you need to. Transfer to a baking tray, and bake for 10 mins. If you are freezing the sausages, once they're golden brown transfer to a tray and leave to cool for a few minutes, then open-freeze (uncovered) until solid and transfer to freezer-proof containers. Will keep frozen for up to three months. Cook from frozen in the oven for 25 mins until piping hot.

GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES - WALES



Glamorgan Sausages - Wales image

From The Dairy Book of British Food. "These were the poor man's meatless substitute for the real thing, and are today an interesting dish for vegetarians". Caerphilly cheese is a white, crumbly/flaky cheese that is a bit tart. Use a medium to tart cheddar if you can't get Caerphilly cheese. You could substitute a non-British cheese that is a bit tart or salty, from cows! Caerphilly is an old, old castle town in the county of Glamorgan.
