Welsh Glamorgan Sausages With Onion Chutney (Cheese Fritters) image

Not sausages in the strict sense, these savoury, sausage shaped cheese fritters were traditionally based on a welsh sheep's cheese call Glamorgan. No one seems to produce that lovely old cheese any longer, so these days pubs and home cooks use either the more readily available Caerphilly or a sharp Cheddar. Just keep in mind that you need a big flavoured cheese that becomes creamy and rich when melted. Store any remaining chutney in a glass jar with a non reactive lid and keep refrigerated.

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
5 red onions, peeled, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped gingerroot
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pinch ground cloves
1/3 cup sherry wine vinegar
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red pepper jelly
2/3 cup dry red wine
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cheshire cheese (250 g) or 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (250 g)
3 green onions, white part only, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leave, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
3 large eggs, separated
milk, as needed
flour, as needed
1 1/2 cups fine dry breadcrumbs
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • FOR THE CHUTNEY: In a large saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil over low heat. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve completely. Add the onions all at once and stir to coat with the butter and sugar mixture. Add the garlic, ginger, thyme, cumin, coriander and cloves, mix together well and cook until onions are quite soft, 15-20 minutes. Add the vinegars, red pepper jelly and wine and work into the onion mixture. Continue to cook at a simmer for another 20 minutes or so, until mixture is thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Let mixture cool before using.
  • FOR THE SAUSAGES: In a mixing bowl combine the cheese, onions, parsley, thyme, dry mustard and salt and pepper. Mix together well then add the fresh breadcrumbs and egg yolks. Blend together, adding a little milk, if necessary, if mixture is too dry.
  • Beat egg whites until light and frothy. Form the cheese mixture into sausage shapes. Dip each in flour, shaking off the excess, then into the beaten egg whites and finally the breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the cheese mixture has been shaped. Heat enough oil to shallow fry the sausages in a large skillet placed over medium high heat. Fry the sausages for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown on all sides. Serve with the onion chutney. Serves 4. Serve with Felinfoel Brewery's double Dragon Ale.
  • Felinfoel Brewery: This Welsh brewery is the oldest in the country, famous for its double Dragon, the national ale of Wales.: Although it started out as an in producing its own beer, the popularity of what became known as Felinfoel beer eventually led to the beer being produced for other inns in the area. Because of its connections with the tin plate industry, Felinfoel was the first brewery in the UK to offer beer in conical cons sealed with a standard crown seal in 1935. Double Dragonâ€"sold under the name Welsh ale in North America is a malty bitter with an aroma of apples and a sharp, crisp taste.

I love that these sausages are gluten-free. It's so hard to find vegetarian sausages that are also gluten-free.

These sausages are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some odds and ends in the fridge and they all worked perfectly in the sausages.

I made these sausages for a potluck and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them, even the meat-eaters. I'll definitely be making them again soon.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sausages came out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The onion chutney was also fantastic - I could eat it on everything!
