Pork Sausages With Zucchini Rosti

"Deliciously flavoursome home-made pork sausages - so great to know that your sausages are free of preservatives - served with equally yummy zucchini rosti make for a great family meal. I have adapted this recipe from one I found today in the current issue of the Australian 'Woman's Day', and which we enjoyed this evening with Ravenseyes’ Recipe #306901. Mincing the vegetables in a processor ensures that the mixture holds together more readily. If your rosti do not look as if they are going to hold together, make them in egg rings, which I find can be removed when you are ready to turn the patties, latkes, burgers or rosti. If you are using a non-stick pan, use non-stick egg rings and - for easy removal - lightly oil them, When making these tonight, I used all of the listed optional ingredients for the zucchini rosti. My inclusion of rosemary and sage was from a grinder which includes this fabulous blend. :) All of these optional ingredients add heaps of flavour, but I'm well aware that not everyone likes lemony flavours. If any of these optional ingredients don't appeal to you, leave them out! I love the textural variation that nuts provide. Pine nuts would also work well here."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to moderate: 180°C/350°-375°F/gas mark 4-5.
  • In a bowl, combine the pork mince/ground pork, apple, onion, garlic, lemon pepper, cumin and salt, to taste; divide the mixture into 8 portions; roll each portion into 10cm/4 inch long sausages and coat the sausages in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan over a medium heat; add the sausages and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning, until browned on all sides; transfer to an oven tray and bake for 8-10 minutes or until they are cooked all the way though.
  • Meanwhile, combine the thoroughly squeezed, grated zucchini, flour and cheese in a bowl, and add any of the optional ingredients you are including - garlic, lemon zest, rosemary, sage and walnuts - and season to taste; heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pan used to brown the sausages; spoon two tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the pan and (being careful not to overcrowd the pan) repeat with further two-tablespoon amounts, flattening them with a spatula; cook the rosti for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden; turn and cook them for a further 1-2 minutes, until they are cooked through; transfer to a serving plate and cover the rosti to keep them warm; repeat with the remaining mixture.
  • Serve the sausages with the zucchini rosti and tomato chutney or tzatziki and salad greens or vegetables.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
