Granny’s Cook book.

I don’t know about you, but mid-week, the food cupboard is starting to suffer a bit and I usually have a few bits and bobs left over here and there, it happens to us all at some point, right?

This week I had a pound of sausages left in the fridge and I thought to myself it’s not enough for us all to have for a meal as there’s too many of us, so I decided to make rissoles for lunch, it will make enough for us all and be cheap and tasty and makes a little go a lot further. 1 lb of sausages, skinned

1 egg, beaten

1/2 cup of bacon, chopped

1 tbls of dried parsley

1 teaspoon of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon of rosemary

1/2 teaspoon of sage

1/2 teaspoon of mixed herbs 1 teaspoon of onion powder

3 cups of breadcrumbs, brown or white 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon of chilli powder

1 tbls tomorrow ketchup

Method

Place skinned sausages into a bowl, break them up a little with a spoon. Add the rest of the other ingredients, stir thoroughly to combine.

Next, using your hands, form the mixture first into balls then flatten them into patties, ready for shallow frying either dry or in a little oil. N.B those can be barbecued too.

Shallow fry on either side until thoroughly cooked right through. Turning as needed.

Serve with peas or baked beans, perhaps a salad, mashed potatoes, whatever you fancy.
