Sausages!

Our sausage making days are great fun! Using only locally farmed high welfare meat or vegetarian ingredients we know exactly what goes into our sausages. Here are a couple of recipes one vegetarian and one pork based.

Vegetarian Sausage

25g mushrooms, finely chopped

1 can lentils in water

1 tablespoon chopped onions

1 clove garlic (crushed or finely chopped)

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon oregano

Salt

Pepper

1 tablespoon tomato puree

100g crushed walnuts

100g breadcrumbs

1 onion

Rapeseed oil

Fry off the onions and garlic

Drain and crush the lentils

Combine all the ingredients and then push into a vegetarian sausage casing. Rub with a little oil before cooking

Here is a standard sausage mix that you can vary with any herbs and spices that you like. Make them as hot & spicy as you like!

We use hog casings for the pork sausages but there are plenty of kits and casings available so have a go yourself. Keep an eye on our web site for news of upcoming sustainability courses.
