Time 52m

Yield Makes 50

Number Of Ingredients 6

Scant 1/2 cup ginger conserve
Scant 1/2 cup wholegrain mustard
1 tablespoon garlic oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
50 skinny breakfast sausage links
1 round (approx. 9 inch diameter) thick-crust sourdough or rye bread loaf, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together the ginger conserve, mustard, garlic flavored oil and soy sauce.
  • Turn the sausages in the mustardy mix and then arrange them on either a large, shallow-sided tin or 2 smaller tins. The height of the tin's sides will determine how quickly the sausages color and cook.
  • If you are using high-sided tins, they will need about 45 minutes in the oven; cooked on a shallower tray, 30 minutes should be fine. And do line with foil or use throwaway foil trays, or washing-up will be a nightmare. To serve the sausages in their bread bowl, cut a circle around the top of the bread to take off a "lid". Put this lid on one side for a moment, and tear and pull out the doughy filling with your hands, leaving the crust intact so that you have a hollow bowl.
  • Fill this emptied-out loaf with as many sausages as you can - you may have to top up with a few as you go - and then you can balance the lid at a jaunty angle for maximum effect and your guests' amusement. Serve with a small pot of cocktail sticks to spear the
  • sausages, but if you're skipping the bread bowl option, let the hot sausages cool slightly before handing them out.
  • Make ahead note:
  • Put coating mixture in a resealable bag, add sausages and refrigerate for up to 2 days - put bag in bowl or on plate in case of leakage. Cook as directed in recipe.
  • Freeze note:
  • The sausages can be frozen in bag with coating for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in fridge - put bag in bowl or on plate in case of leakage. Cook as directed in recipe.
