Old Fashioned English Spiced Pork and Herb Sausages or Bangers! image

These traditional English sausages are spicy & so much better than the shop bought varieties. If you can get hold of sausage skins or casings, so much the better - but these sausages still taste great without them. They are great for breakfast, brunch, picnics, casseroles or a firm family favourite - "Bangers & Mash"! Try and use local organically produced pork for a superior flavour.They can be frozen before cooking & the mixture can be used for sausagemeat stuffing also.

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 sausages, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces organic lean pork, minced
4 ounces pork belly, minced
2 ounces fresh white breadcrumbs
1 onion, peeled & grated
1/2 lemon, rind of, grated
1/2 nutmeg, grated
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
salt, to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 -2 tablespoon flour
1 egg white, only
1 ounce butter
1 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Combine all the meats with the fresh breadcrumbs, grated onion, lemon rind, nutmeg, parsley, dried herbs,pepper & salt. Mix well, it's better to mix this together with your hands.
  • Bind with the 2 beaten eggs & mix well again.
  • At this stage you can chill the sausage mixture in the fridge - it's easier to handle when it is slightly firmer. You can also use the mixture for stuffing at this stage too.
  • When you are ready to cook the sausages or to shape them ready for freezing, form the mixture into sausage shapes - using a little flour to help you.
  • Dip the sausages into the beaten egg white and then dust lightly with the flour and set aside until ready to cook.
  • Heat up the oil and butter together in a large frying pan and cook the sausages for about 10-15 minutes over a medium heat. Turn them regularly to ensure they brown evenly.
  • Drain them on a paper towel & serve hot with mashed potatoes & onion gravy for "Bangers & Mash" or use them in Toad-in-the-Hole as well as serving them for cooked breakfasts & brunches. They are delicious served cold with chutney too.
  • HERBS NOTE:.
  • I generally use a pre-mixed home-made dried mixture of Sage, Parsley, Thyme & Majoram. However any combination of dried herbs would be good - but NOT Rosemary as it is too pungent & will overpower the other flavours. One herb which is ALWAYS a must no matter what combination you use, is Sage - it has a wonderful affinity with pork & pork sausages in particular! I also use fresh herbs when they are available in my herb garden. Use at least double the quantity of fresh herbs as they are not as strong as dried herbs. Chop or mince very finely. Hope that helps!

These sausages were delicious! I cooked them in a pan on the stovetop, and they were perfect. The casings were nice and crispy, and the meat was cooked through perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.

These sausages were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I used too much chili powder when I seasoned the meat. But the flavor was still good. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

These sausages were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I used too much fat when I ground the pork. But the flavor was still good. I'll definitely try them again, but I'll use less fat next time.

I'm not a huge fan of pork, but these sausages were surprisingly delicious. The spices and herbs really balanced out the flavor of the meat. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new sausage recipe.
