Sausage Sammich Recipes

PROPER SAUSAGE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a pan over low-medium heat melt in 2 tsp butter. Add in your sausages and fry for 15-20mins, turning frequently. A lower heat will render down the fat and make the skin nice and crispy, whilst making sure the meat cooks properly.
• Remove from pan and place to one side (or in the oven on low heat), leaving the fat behind. Add in your onion fry for another 10-15mins on the same heat, tossing every now and then. Season with salt and black pepper (good pinch of black pepper goes beautifully with sausages). Here lower heat will draw out the sugars and help the onions to caramelize, turning the golden and sweet. For truly caramelized onions see notes.
• Slice down the centre of sausages and fold them open. Lightly butter one side of your bread, top with onions, place on your sausages, finish with a drizzle of ketchup/brown sauce then top with another slice of lightly buttered bread. Enjoy!
