Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 10 grams Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons White pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
• 1 teaspoons Dried sage
• 1 meter Pork sausage casings
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Soak the sausage casings in warm water for at least 30 minutes to make them pliable. Rinse them thoroughly by running water through them to clean out any salt or residue.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, breadcrumbs, and cold water. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the mixture becomes sticky.

Step 3

Add the salt, white pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and dried sage to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly mixed throughout.

Step 4

Attach the sausage stuffer attachment to a meat grinder or use a dedicated sausage stuffer. Slide the soaked casing over the nozzle, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of casing hanging off the end.

Step 5

Carefully feed the sausage mixture through the stuffer, guiding the casing steadily as it's filled. Be cautious not to overfill to avoid bursting the casing. Twist the filled sausage into even links, about 12-15 cm (5-6 inches) long.

Step 6

Once all the sausages are filled, prick each link lightly with a pin or skewer to release any trapped air bubbles.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook them gently for about 10 minutes, turning frequently to brown all sides evenly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the sausages for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).

Step 9

Serve the bangers hot alongside mashed potatoes, onion gravy, and peas for a traditional English meal.
