Jazzing up sausgaes?

[Crystalwings]

As a kid we often has sausages stuffed with creamed corn and served with mash and vege.

I often buy chicken, garlic snags and make these into wraps using Chappata wraps. Cook snags. Meanwhile, sautee some onions until soft. Put into warmed wraps with some baby spinach and tzaziki - yummo

Salad ... i made your YUMMY sausage pie tonight ... I put 1 x large zucchini and 1 x medium carrot, i didn't have salt but i don't think it needed it with the cheese in it as it tasted nice enough ... I was wondering if the recipe you wrote is correct for example Should it have more flour as it took 1hour & 20mins in my oven at temp 170 and still wasn't quite set & my oven is usually a bit hot then the reg oven ... Wondering if maybe i should have paper towel soaked the juice out of the zucchini first ?? ... Would so like to know as i would love to make again

Thanks heaps Salad (and DP said " Thanks " too)

hey smiles no worries blokes do seem to love that recipe.

i just checked that I typed it correctly and it seems to be ok, I would agree with you and definantly squeeze out the excess juice in the zuchini I usually just put into colander or pasta/rice strainer and then press out the extra liquid if that makes sense.

At least that gives you another excuse to make another one.

I usually make a quick tomato chutney to go with it and its awesome if you want that recipe too let me know.

Thanks a million Salad ... yeh, silly me thought of it after i threw in the zucchini ... Will drain for sure next time

YES please would love the Tom Chutney recipe, oh that would be brilliant ... and i reckon i might pop a couple of crisp lettuce leaves to the side next time too

Cheers & thanks again Salad xoxox

No worries at all I am glad you liked it.
Here is the recipe for the chutney:

Tomato Chutney

1 tsp brown mustard seeds
1 brown onion diced
4 tomatoes chopped
1 garlic glove crushed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tblsp cider vinegar (i just use normal white vinegar because that is all I have and it still tastes great)

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add mustard seeds, cook for 1 minute or untl seeds pop

Add onion cook stirring for 3 minutes or until soft

Add tomotaoes garlic sugar and vinegar, cook stirring until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to high. Brng to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes or until mixture thckens- stirring occasionally.

It is really easy and yummy and I serve it with heaps of other dishes as it goes with anything sometimes I just make this and put it over just plain old sausages just to jazz then up a bit. Blokes love this one too. My DH takes leftover for his lunch at work and all the guys want to know what it is and want to taste it lol.

You could do Curried sausages, or sausages with onion gravy/bacon gravy/tomato and onion gravy? Or you could squeeze all the meat out, mince it together again, make patties and roll in crumbs for crumbed rissoles?

i always do a vegetable curry with my sausages cheap and makes 8 sausages go far.

Sausage and White Bean Casserole

Cook your sausages, slice. Fry up a sliced onion, crushed garlic, sausages (mushrooms if you like) Add 1 x can of tomatoes and 1 x can of cannellini beans, and a bit of smoked paprika. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Serve over brown rice.

This was far and away my favourite dish as a meat eater. And is very high fibre. (As is the rest of my life!)

Also, +1 to sausage in soup, esp minestrone or similar.
