Hairy Bikers Glamorgan Sausage Recipe
The Hairy Bikers Glamorgan Sausage Recipe is a comforting vegetarian dish full of flavor. These sausages are crispy outside and soft inside. They are made with cheese, breadcrumbs and simple seasonings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For coating:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Cook the Onions
- Place a frying pan over medium heat. Add butter and chopped onions. Cook gently for about five minutes. The onions should become soft and slightly golden.
Prepare the Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated cheddar cheese, mustard, parsley, salt and black pepper. Add the cooked onions once they cool slightly.
Add the Egg Yolk
- Add the egg yolk into the mixture. Stir everything together until it forms a thick and slightly sticky mixture.
Shape the Sausages
- Take a small handful of the mixture. Roll it between your hands to create a sausage shape. Continue until all the mixture is used.
Prepare the Coating
- Place breadcrumbs on one plate and beaten egg on another. This coating will create a crispy outer layer.
Coat the Sausages
- Dip each sausage first in the beaten egg. Then roll it in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat the Oil
- Add vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat it over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Fry the Sausages
- Place the sausages gently in the pan. Fry them for about 3–4 minutes on each side. Turn them carefully so they cook evenly.
Serve the Sausages
- Once golden and crispy, remove them from the pan. Place them on a plate with paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use mature cheddar for stronger flavor.
- Add chopped leeks instead of onions.
- Bake them instead of frying for a lighter option.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Chill the sausages before frying to help them hold shape.
- Serve with mustard or tomato sauce.
