Vegetarian Glamorgan Sausages (Welsh Leek Sausages)
Real comfort food from the South of Wales! Vegetarian Glamorgan Sausages are essentially breadcrumbs, leeks and copious amounts of cheese, but flavoured with some extra herbs and mustard, these Welsh Leek Sausages are a real treat! Cheesy, moist and filling, they are best served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad!
Ingredients
- 170 g leeks weight after trimming, thinly sliced
- 20 g butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 100 g Caerphilly or Mature Cheddar grated
- 60 g breadcrumbs
- 1 egg separated
- 1 teaspoon English mustard
- 3 tablespoon flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Melt the butter and a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add the chopped leeks and saute on medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, until the leeks soften. Once cooked, leave them to cool down slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix the grated cheese, bread crumbs, egg yolk, mustard and a pinch of salt salt and black pepper. Add the softened cooled leeks and mix well. Divide the sausage mixture into 6 equal portions and roll into 6 sausage shape logs. Damp hands help to shape them more easily.
- Mix the flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Beat the egg white lightly in a separate shallow dish. Roll each sausage in the beaten egg white. Then roll the small sausages in the seasoned flour mixture to coat them completely.
- Heat 2-3 tablespoon of oil (add a knob of butter too if you wish) to a non-stick frying pan. Once hot, fry the Vegetarian Glamorgan Sausages for 5-6 minutes on medium-high heat turning them often, until they warm through and are golden brown all over. Serve warm!
