Glamorgan Sausages Recipes

Steps:

• To make the pastry, put the flour, butter and cayenne pepper into a food processor, then whizz into fine breadcrumbs. sprinkle the egg and water mixture onto the flour and pulse again until the mixture begins to come together. Tip the mixture onto a board, then gently squeeze the pastry until it begins to come together in a ball, adding more water if it feels dry. Divide the mixture in half, roll each piece into a 12 x 30cm rectangle and slip onto a baking sheet. Do not chill.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the filling ingredients together, except one egg yolk, which you need for glazing, in a food processor. Divide in two and roll each into a 30cm-long sausage shape. Lay a cheese sausage on one side of the pastry. Brush the sausage and pastry with egg yolk and fold the pastry over the top to encase the sausage. Seal the two edges, trim the ends, then cut into 2cm pieces. Arrange on a baking sheet and chill for 30 mins.
• Brush the rolls with a little more egg yolk, place herbs on top, if you like, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden brown.

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the leek, shallot, garlic, herbs, cheese, seasoning and zest and juice of the lemon with the 6oz of breadcrumbs.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk together with the mustard powder.
• Set aside 1 tablespoon of egg mixture and add the rest to the cheese and leek mixture, mix to a stiff paste.
• Roll out 8-10 sausages, dip in the reserved egg mixture and roll in the remaining 3 oz. of breadcrumbs.
• Lightly brush the sausages with sunflower oil and grill under a medium heat for approximately 15 mins turning regularly until crisp and golden.
• Serve warm with chutney or relish.

Steps:

• Whizz the bread in a food processor to make fine breadcrumbs.
• Place in a bowl.
• Whizz the onion, parsley and thyme in the processor until finely chopped, then add the cheese andmustard and process until finely chopped.
• Spoon the cheese mixture on to the bread crumbs.
• Season well with salt and pepper, then add the 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk (reserving the egg white) and stir well.
• Use your hands to form the mixture into 8 to 10 sausages.
• Place the egg white in a bowl and whisk with a fork.
• Roll the sausages in the egg white, then in flour.
• Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the sausages until brown all over, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• To make the sundried tomato gravy; heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat, then cook the onion until softened.
• Add the tomato puree and vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper.
