Simpler Chocolate Sausages

Methods

1. To make the Simpler Chocolate Sausages Recipe:
• Soak the sausage skins in a bowl of tepid water with a tablespoon of vinegar for about half an hour
• They will become soft and elastic
• Wash the sausage skins thoroughly in cold water and run the water through them by attaching them to the tap
• Mix the minced pork, minced onion, coriander, garlic and paprika -using your hands
• Melt the chocolate in a bowl, suspended over simmering water/Bain Marie
• Add the melted chocolate to the meat mix and season well
• Load up your sausage machine or piping bag with the filling (if using a piping bag do not put all the filling into the piping bag at once as it makes it more difficult to force it through)
• Ease the casing over the nozzle tying the casing at the end leaving about three inches hanging loose
• Feed the filling through making one long, fat sausage and then once the casing is almost full make a knot at the top end
• Divide it up into individual sausages by twisting each section in alternate directions to prevent the sausages unwinding
• Cut the sausage skins in the middle of each twisted section
• Sausages are best-rested overnight- to prevent the skins from splitting when cooked- but you can cook them straight away- but cook them slowly
• Grill, roast, B.B.Q, pan-fry or griddle the sausages till just cooked- don’t nuke them
