Oxford Sausages
An Oxford butcher probably created this recipe in the days when every shop sold its own special home-made sausages. These are succulent and meaty, well flavoured with herbs and lemon. They are shaped in the hands before frying, and do not have skins.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean boneless pork
- 1 lb lean boneless veal
- 12 oz shredded suet
- 8 oz fresh breadcrumbs
- grated rind of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mixed herbs or 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp chopped fresh sage or a pinch of dried
- salt and pepper
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- plain flour for coating
Instructions
- Mince or very finely chop the pork and veal. Put the minced meat in a large mixing bowl and add the suet, breadcrumbs, lemon rind, nutmeg and herbs. Mix together and season to taste. Add the egg yolks to the mixture and mix well with a fork until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and bound together.
- with floured hands, form the mixture into sausage shapes. Coat each sausage in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Cook the sausages under a hot grill, turning frequently, until evenly browned and cooked through.
- Serve the sausages with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable as a main meal, or with grilled bacon and tomatoes for breakfast.
