I love things like Bangers & Mash, or Toad in a Hole; however, it is difficult to get “proper” British sausages. I got this spice recipe from a fellow chef in London last year. She claimed that that it is the standard recipe used for making British beef sausages, or “bangers.” I switched the beef out for pork, and made them into patties. My holiday houseguests love them, and always ask if I will be serving them for breakfast. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make pork essentials: british sausages

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3
    THE SEASONING
  • 4
    Add all the seasoning ingredients into a small bowl.
  • 5
    Thoroughly mix, and place into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • 6
    THE SAUSAGE
  • 7
    Grind the pork and the fat together using the large holes of your meat grinder.
  • 8
    Mix in the bread crumbs, chicken stock, and 2 1/2 teaspoons of the reserved sausage seasoning.
  • 9
    Place in the fridge, and allow the mixture to rest for 30 minutes.
  • 10
    Chef’s Note: This will give the mixture time to absorb the chicken stock.
  • 11
    If you have a casing stuffer, then use this mixture to make your own sausages. If you do not have a casing stuffer (I thought everyone had one of these), then form them into patties.
  • 12
    Chef’s Tip: These will freeze quite well.
  • 13
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • 14
    These make a great breakfast sausage. Serve them with a full English breakfast, or something a bit more conservative. Enjoy.
  • 15
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
