You will need some type of sausage stuffer machine to make this work. I have seen people attempt it with a funnel and push it in by hand (or finger)… You could give that a go… and if you do I want to see a video…
Everything should be covered here and in the video but if you have any questions just let me know in the comments.
A filler, in the case breadcrumbs, is really important in a British sausage. Without it, it just isn’t an English sausage. Legend goes… that during the war, us Brits used bread to bulk out our sausages. They were so packed full of soaked bread that when they were cooked they popped in the jot oil… hence the name “bangers”
You can use different types of fillers. Dried breadcrumbs as I do in this recipe, stale bread soaked din water and squeezed, or a rusk that has been specifically made for the job. The fillers mean we can add liquid which keeps the sausage moist and hangs on to all of that fatty goodness!
To make the recipe straightforward, and adjusting the quantities easier, I have given the percentages of the ingredients in relation to the weight of the pork.
2.5 Kilo Pork minced (50% pork belly / 50% pork shoulder)
250g (105) White dried breadcrumbs (10% by weight of pork)
500g (20%) Cold water
50g (2%) Sea salt
25g (1%) Black pepper
5g (0.2%) Dried oregano
5g (0.2%) Dried Thyme
