Local Recipes
Lorne Sausage
If you have been to Scotland and eaten breakfast there, then you will have noticed something strange about their local breakfast sausage - yes, it's SQUARE! The shape doesn't prevent it from being downright delicious though!
500g minced beef
500g minced pork
150g fine breadcumbs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground coriander
a pinch of salt
150ml water
Line a 1lb loaf tin with cling film, with enough to cover the top as well.
Mix the two meats together well.
Combine all ingredients, mixing well. Add water and mix until evenly combined.
Press mix into loaf tin, ensuring no air gaps, and cover with the cling film. Freeze for about 3 hours.
Remove from loaf tin and cut into slices. Wrap and freeze individually.
To use, defrost 12 hours in fridge before using.
