Lorne Sausage

INGREDIENTS

  • 450g (1lb) minced beef
  • 450g (1lb) minced pork
  • 250g (1.5 cups) breadcrumbs (not fresh)
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt ( add to taste)
  • 1.5 tsp coriander
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp mace
  • 120ml (1/2 cup) cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line your loaf tin, or whatever you’re using to make the square sausage, with clingfilm, with enough hanging over the edges to wrap over the opening once you’ve put the sausage meat in it.
  2. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and use your hands to thoroughly combine.
  3. Squash the sausage meat into the loaf tin as densely as possible. If you have any leftover you can set aside to make meat patties out of it!
  4. Wrap the clingfilm over the top so it’s fully covered and place in the freezer for 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.* Alternatively, leave it in the refrigerator for 24 hours until it is firm.
  5. Remove the sausage from the tin using the clingfilm to lift it out and then cut into 1cm slices.
  6. You can use it immediately, put it in the fridge to be used within the next 2 days, or put pieces of baking paper between slices and place them in a container to fully freeze and pull out to use as you wish.
  7. Cook in a frying pan for a few minutes each slide or grill and then serve in a morning roll with your choice of sauce, or as part of a full Scottish breakfast!


* I would recommend mixing mince beef and chicken as it tastes better. 
* I also oven baked it instead of pan frying, once it is ready put in the casserole and cover with a piece of cloth (to keep the moisture) 
* I put extra coriander powder to replace mace and it turns out nicely still.
