Cooking the perfect sausage

First live in a country that makes good sausages! Presently I don't so we have to make them. We will leave the making of sausages for another day.

Sausage meat is best cooked long and slow, as it will release all the juices and seasoning from the meat as you cook. So this is an easy addition to our blog list, but an important one, as there is nothing like a well cooked sausage.

So get a good frying pan, turn your stove top on to low and put the separate sausages in the pan and WALK AWAY.

Go back every 5 minutes and turn the sausages to a different side! So it will probably take at least 20 minutes to cook a good sausage. The thicker the sausage the lower the temp. too as the meat in the middle of the sausage needs to cook too! (Oh yes and I know sausages are round and don't have sides, but it will be lying in a flat pan OK !)

Enjoy the sausage. I personally like mine with mashed potato. Now that's another recipe.
