Ingredients

  • 450g good fat streaky pork

  • 2-4 tsp mixed fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives, marjoram, rosemary or sage)

  • 1 large garlic clove

  • 1 egg

  • 70g soft white breadcrumbs

  • salt

  • freshly ground pepper

  • a little oil

  • natural casings (sheep)

Method

  1. Mince the pork. Chop the herbs finely and mix through the crumbs. Crush the garlic to a paste with a little salt.

  2. Whisk the egg, then mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

  3. Fry off a little knob of the mixture to check the seasoning and correct if necessary. Fill into sausage casings and tie. Alternatively divide into 16 pieces and roll into lengths. Fry gently on a barely oiled pan until golden on all sides.
