Vegetarian Glamorgan sausages Recipe
Ingredients
- 50 g butter
- 150 g leeks trimmed, finely sliced (prepared weight)
- 200 g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 250 g Caerphilly cheese or Welsh cheddar finely grated
- 4 free-range eggs separated
- 2 tsp English mustard
- 1 tsp flaked sea salt
- 10 tbsp sunflower oil
- freshly ground black pepper
- For the red onion and chilli relish
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil
- 4 medium red onions finely sliced
- 2 red chilli finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 100 g light brown muscovado sugar
- 10 tbsp white wine vinegar
Instructions
- For the sausages: In a large non-stick
frying pan melt the butter and fry the leek gently for 10minutes, or until very soft but not coloured. - In a large mixing
bowl add 100g/3½oz of the breadcrumbs, the parsley, thyme and cheese, then mix until well combined. Beat the egg yolks with the mustard, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper in a separate bowl. - Remove the frying pan from the heat and tip the leeks into the bowl with the breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and mix together well with a large wooden spoon until well combined. Divide the leek mixture into eight portions and roll into sausage shapes. Place the sausages onto a tray lined with clingfilm.
- Whisk the egg whites lightly in a bowl with a large metal
whisk until just frothy. Sprinkle 40g/1½oz breadcrumbs over a large plate. Dip the sausages one at a time into the beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated, then place on the baking tray. Chill the sausages in the fridge for 30 minutes. - Meanwhile, for the relish, heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan and fry the onions for 20 minutes, or until very soft and just beginning to colour. Add the chilli and garlic to the pan and cook for a further five minutes, stirring regularly.
- Sprinkle with the sugar and pour over the vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for five further minutes, or until the liquid is well reduced and the relish becomes thick and glossy. Remove from the heat, set aside to cool for a few minutes then tip into a serving dish.
- Heat the oil into a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sausages over a medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning regularly until golden-brown and crisp. Serve the sausages with a good spoonful of chilli and onion relish and some thinly sliced runner beans.
