Lancashire Cheese Sausages With Onion Gravy image

The joy of a good sausage is that fried, fatty quality and a strong mystery seasoning. Veggie sausages are tricky, but after years of trying I think this is a pretty good version. Any crumbly sharp cheese can be used as a sub for the lancashire.

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 sausages

Number Of Ingredients 17

21 ounces lancashire cheese, grated (1 lb 5oz)
7 ounces fresh breadcrumbs
6 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, freshly chopped
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup milk, to bind
salt & freshly ground black pepper
vegetable oil, for frying
3 large onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 ounces plain flour
1/3 cup vegetarian liquid gravy browner
1 pint vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Place all the sausage ingredients except the oil in a large bowl, season well, and mix it all up with your hands. When you taste it, overseason it by about 15 per cent, so it's a bit more salty and peppery than you'd normally have - the mixture loses some of its power as it chills and cooks. Chill the mixture for two hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the gravy. Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onions, garlic and sugar over a low heat until golden. Sprinkle on the flour and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the gravy browning and stock and bring to the boil. Season, then simmer for at least 20 minutes.
  • Mould the chilled sausage mix into sausage shapes - you should get about twelve decent bangers out of it, depending how big you like your sausage.
  • You can either shallow-fry the sausages in a little oil or deep-fry them in a lot of oil; I think the deep-fry method brings the best out of the flavour and texture. Fry them for about five minutes until golden, then drain well on some kitchen paper and serve with the gravy.
  • This fabulous grub is great with mashed potato (try it with the addition of wholegrain mustard), with a salad or in a bun smothered in ketchup, onions and mustard and served with chips.
