Ration special tonight is sausage roll. This is not sausage roll as we think of today, with heavily seasoned sausage meat encased in puff pastry. This is sausage meat with a selection of available ingredients and steamed. The recipe is 8oz of sausage meat, mixed with 3oz breadcrumbs, 1 chopped onion, 1 tablespoon of pickle, 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs and salt and pepper. Effectively, (without the pickle) this is pretty much the recipe for a sausage stuffing recipe.
The recipe calls for this to be steamed for 1 ½ hours. Firstly, I live in a one bedroom flat and do not own, have the space or the inclination to own a steamer. Secondly, the thought of steamed sausage meat made me feel a bit ill. I do not like the thought of paled sausage meat with steamed onion in it. Instead, I slapped this into a loaf tin and baked for an hour and fifteen minutes. The results, stuffing! Or, a kind of meatloaf. To be honest, this is Yum! This recipe also makes quite a lot, and quite a nice recipe for a family meal. For me, I think I will be carving big slabs of this off and putting it in sandwiches.
Might have one now……
