Lamb Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake the sausage on a baking sheet for 20 minutes. Turn the sausage and bake it 5 to 10 minutes more, until it's fully cooked. Cool to room temperature.
• Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured board. Cut each piece in half lengthwise and brush the top sides with mustard. Divide the sausage into 4 equal pieces. Starting at the long end of the pastry, place 1 piece of the sausage on top of the mustard and roll it up tightly, overlapping the end by 1/2 inch and sealing the pastry by brushing the edge with water. Cut off the excess pastry. Roll the other 3 pieces of sausage in puff pastry. Place the 4 rolls, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg wash. Lightly score each roll diagonally to make 7 equal pieces. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned. Slice and serve immediately with mustard.

Steps:

• To make the sausage, put ground lamb in a mixing bowl. Using a spice mill or mortar and pestle, grind cumin, coriander, black pepper and allspice. Add to lamb, along with salt, cayenne, cinnamon, paprika and garlic. Mix well with hands to incorporate. Fry a little piece of the mixture in a small skillet. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary. Mix again and refrigerate at least 2 hours or, preferably, overnight. Form mixture into 24 two-ounce patties.
• To make the vinaigrette, grind cumin, coriander and caraway. Combine with paprika and a good pinch of cayenne in a small bowl. Add garlic, vinegar, lemon juice and salt. Whisk in olive oil.
• Light a charcoal grill or use a grill pan. The heat should be moderate. Grill sausages, in batches if necessary, for about 2 minutes per side, until just done. Keep warm. Paint onion slices with a little olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill until softened slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with zucchini. Keep at room temperature.
• Line a large platter with lettuce leaves and pile sausages in the middle. Arrange onions and zucchini around the platter. Salt the tomatoes and distribute. Whisk the vinaigrette, then drizzle over everything. Sprinkle with cilantro and mint, and serve with warm pita breads, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine salt and fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle and pound until fine. Stir cumin, cinnamon, coriander, turmeric, and garlic cloves into the salt mixture and continue grinding to form a thick paste. Stir in harissa sauce and tomato paste until combined.
• Combine ground lamb and the spice paste together with a fork in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Form sausage into patties. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties until no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on the size of the patties.

Steps:

• To make the patties, in a large bowl, knead together the lamb, fennel seed, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, and salt. Using your hands, form the mixture into twelve patties.
• In a skillet over medium- high heat, heat 1 1/2 teaspoons ghee. Place six patties in the hot skillet and fry for 4 minutes or until brown. Flip and fry for 3 minutes. Set aside. Add the remaining ghee to the skillet and fry the remaining patties.
• To make the salad, in a medium bowl, toss the greens with the olive oil, lemon, and salt until well coated. To serve, place half the salad on each plate and top with two patties and half the avocado, sauerkraut, and pomegranate seeds. Store the remaining patties for the next day's breakfast.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Cook sausages, turning, until well browned but still slightly pink in center, about 12 minutes. Cut sausages on the diagonal into thirds. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, stir together the onion, garlic, soy sauce, tomato paste, mustard, chilli powder, brown sugar, ginger and vinegar. Bring to a boil and simmer 1-2 minutes. Cool completely.
• When mixture has cooled completely, mix it into the lamb in a large bowl. Add breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.
• Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Stuff into soaked casings, or form into patties.
• Grill or fry using your favorite method.

Steps:

• If using dried beans, cover them by at least 2 inches with cold water and let soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain the beans, put them in a medium pot, and cover by 2 inches with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt, lower the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook until tender, about 1 hour. Drain well if needed.
• If using canned beans, drain them, rinse well in cold water, and drain again.
• Heat a grill pan or sauté pan over high heat. Brush the sausage with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil and grill or sauté until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the shallots and garlic, and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and cook for 1 minute.
• Put the beans in a large bowl and add the shallot mixture, vinegar, olive oil, 1/4 cup of the parsley, 2 tablespoons of the mint, and the honey. Season with salt and pepper and stir gently to combine.
• Divide the beans among 4 large dinner plates and top with the sausages. Drizzle with some of the Zinfandel glaze and garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon chopped mint
• Put the wine in a medium nonreactive saucepan over high heat, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, stir in the honey, and let cool slightly. Whisk in the oil and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Steps:

• Cut lamb and pork fat into 1" chunks. Toss with all remaining ingredients except wine and refrigerate for 12 hours. Spread on a tray and freeze for 1 hour until meat is partially, but not completely, frozen. Chill meat grinder and bowl for 1 hour in fridge.
• Grind using a 1/8th inch die. Add reduced wine, and stir to mix. Stuff into medium pork casings.
• Sausage is really easy to make, especially if you have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. Get the grinding and stuffing attachments.
