Please do not prick your sausages

Place some melted Lard (Pork fat) in a frying pan. You can use other oils, but I think Lard is best.  The art is not to have the heat too high, keep it low and slow so the Sausage takes the heat evenly, browning nicely on each side, giving the frying pan a good shuffle every now and again and the Sausages will turn to the side that needs cooking. If you’re using a temperature probe you want the centre to be 70ºc.

Grilling

Grill on each side until the skins are golden, usually about 4 minutes each side on a low heat. If you’re using a temperature probe you want the centre to be 70ºc.

Another great way to cook Cocktail Sausages

Another great way to cook Cocktail Sausages is to place the Cocktails in a pan with a bit of oil, chopped Onions and fresh Herbs. Bring the heat up and put the lid on giving it a shake every now and then until brown and cooked.  This is my favourite way to cook them and it’s so very easy. If you’re using a temperature probe you want the centre to be 70ºc

Roasting

Rub some oil or even Mustard into the Cocktails before placing in a baking try on a Gas Mark 3, 325º Fahrenheit 170º Celsius very moderate for about 30 minutes If you’re using a temperature probe you want the centre to be 70ºc

Blanch

Place Sausages in cold slightly salted water and bring to the boil on a low heat. Once the water starts to bubble turn off and leave for 2 mins. This is a good way to prepare Sausages for barbecues in advance, and they tend to come out better if you’re not a great barbecue chef. If you’re using a temperature probe you want the centre to be 70ºc
