Most children love sausages, as do adults, however often we can be concerned about the ingredients used in commercial sausages. Apart from the obviously high fat content, they are not always high in pork and they usually contain high volumes of salt.

Try my recipe for homemade sausages, my two love them! The good news is you don’t need sausage skins, just shape your sausage mix into sausages before frying.

Recipe for Homemade Sausages

This recipe makes 16 sausages.

Ingredients

• 1 lb pork mince
• 2-4 teaspoons mixed fresh herbs
• 1 large clove of garlic
• 1 egg
• 2 ½ oz soft white breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper
• A little oil for frying

Method

1. Place all the ingredients above, except the oil, into a large bowl and mix really well with your hands or a wooden spoon.
2. Divide the mixture into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a sausage shape.
3. Heat some oil in your frying pan and cook until golden on all sides.
4. If using for picnics, just drain them on some kitchen roll, cool then pop into a tub to take along.
5. I usually cook them in advance if doing a bbq, and then just warm them on some tin foil on top of the grill.
