IRISH SAUSAGES (BANGERS)



Irish Sausages (Bangers) image

I haven't tried these yet, but absolutely love Irish sausages. This looks like a pretty simple recipe that I found online. You might even be able to get your butcher to mince the meat and then if you don't have casings, just make into patties. I'm not sure how many links this recipe would make so I'm just guessing.

Provided by Brian Genest

Time 14h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds pork butt roast
1 pound veal
½ pound fatback, diced
2 tablespoons dried sage
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 ½ tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons ground thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground mace
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
sausage casings

Steps:

  • Cut pork and veal into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
  • Rinse salt off fatback thoroughly, then soak in warm water for 20 minutes. Remove.
  • Toss pork, veal, fatback, sage, garlic powder, salt, lemon zest, thyme, onion powder, mace, nutmeg, and pepper together very well and cover. Set in a refrigerator overnight for 12 hours.
  • Pass all meat through a meat grinder. Lightly knead a couple of times, but everything should be close to blended evenly already. Cover and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse out casings, passing water through the interior. Let soak in warm water for 30 minutes.
  • Knot one end of casing and slide the other end over a sausage stuffing attachment on your stand mixer. Feed cold ground meat into casing on medium-low speed. If it gets too warm it is a pain to feed into the casings.
  • Twist into links of desired size as casing fills. Tie off other end after final link.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry sausages until browned and no longer pink in the centers, turning as needed, 10 to 15 minutes.

TRUE BANGERS AND MASH WITH ONION GRAVY



True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy image

Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to burst (or bang) while cooking, due to rusk (dried bread) being added to the meat. Mash, meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Try to use a good quality sausage or perhaps even a bratwurst. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 links pork sausage
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
2 large onions, chopped
6 cups beef broth
2 cups red wine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side; transfer to an oven-safe dish and move to the preheated oven to keep warm.
  • Place potatoes into a saucepan over medium heat, cover with water, and boil gently until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mix in 1/4 cup of butter, milk, dry mustard, salt, and black pepper; mash until fluffy and smooth. Set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook the onions until translucent and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and red wine; boil the mixture down to about half its volume, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. To serve, place a sausage onto a serving plate with about 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes. Pour the onion gravy over the sausage and potatoes.

Tips:

  • To ensure evenly cooked sausages, prick them with a fork before frying or grilling.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan when frying sausages to prevent them from burning.
  • For a crispy skin, cook the sausages over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
  • To keep sausages moist and juicy, add a splash of water or beer to the pan while cooking.
  • Avoid overcooking sausages as this can make them tough and dry.
  • Serve sausages immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, cabbage, or gravy.
