Glamorgan Sausages Welsh Veggie Sausages Recipes

WELSH GLAMORGAN VEGETARIAN SAUSAGES

Steps:

• This is easiest to make in a food processor, although you can mix by hand if you prefer.
• Mix the cheese, breadcrumbs and leek or spring onion in the processor.
• Whisk the yolks, herbs, mustard and seasoning together.
• Add to the breadcrumb and cheese mixture and whizz again in the food processor.
• The mixture should be quite moist and come together easily in your hand but if not add another yolk or a touch of water.
• Divide into 10-12 pieces and roll each into a sausage about 5 cm long.
• You can make them ahead to this point and store in the fridge for up to a day.
• Dip in egg white, roll in the extra breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown in hot oil or lard.
• Serve with potatoes or, for a lighter meal, with perhaps some grilled tomato and a salad.
• You may also like to fry a few rashers of bacon to serve on the side.

GLAMORGAN "SAUSAGE"

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.

GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES - WALES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, cheese, leek, parsley and mustard. Season to taste. Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk and mix thoroughly. Add enough milk to bind the mixture together.
• Divide the mixture into 8 and shape into sausages.
• Beat the remaining egg white on a plate with a fork until frothy. Dip the sausages into the egg white, then roll in the flour to coat.
• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan and fry the sausages for 5 - 10 minutes until golden brown.
• Makes 8. Serve hot or cold.

GLAMORGAN SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat until foaming, then fry the leeks with a pinch of salt for 5-10 mins until soft. Leave to cool slightly.
• Put 200g soft breadcrumbs, the thyme, egg yolks, cheese, mustard and a generous grinding of pepper in a bowl and mix to combine. Stir in the fried leeks, and any butter left in the pan. Season with salt and mix well using your hands.
• Mould the mixture into 12 sausages (divide and weigh for accuracy if you like). You may find damp hands help, cleaning your hands every so often to stop them sticking. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and freeze for 10 mins until firm, or chill for 30 mins in the fridge.
• While the sausages are firming up, whisk the egg whites in a shallow bowl with a pinch of salt until lightly foamy. Put the flour and some of the remaining breadcrumbs onto separate plates.
• Dust the chilled and firm sausages in the flour, then dunk in the egg white, and roll in the breadcrumbs. Top up the plate of breadcrumbs as required. Chill for at least 1 hr and up to 24hrs before frying.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the sausages in batches, turning them gently every minute, for 4-6 mins, until golden and crisp all over. Add a little more oil between batches if you need to. Transfer to a baking tray, and bake for 10 mins. If you are freezing the sausages, once they're golden brown transfer to a tray and leave to cool for a few minutes, then open-freeze (uncovered) until solid and transfer to freezer-proof containers. Will keep frozen for up to three months. Cook from frozen in the oven for 25 mins until piping hot.
