Leek and Cheddar Glamorgan Sausages

These vegetarian cheesy leek sausages are perfect for serving up on a classic hot dog roll for an excellent summer barbecue party treat.
Serves 4 generously
Easy

Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

These are inspired by the classic Welsh Glamorgan sausages, adapted for the barbecue with three of my favourite ingredients – cheddar, mustard and sage. You can part-bake these in advance in the oven, and finish them off on the barbecue – perfect to transport to the park or beach.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
2 leeks, thinly sliced
1 tsp sea salt flakes
150g cheddar, grated
1 heaped tsp mustard
10 sage leaves, finely chopped
2 free-range egg yolks
100g fresh white breadcrumbs
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
plain flour, for shaping
4 hot dog rolls and mustard, to serve

Method

Prep time: 30 minutes + 1 hour chilling. Cook time: 30 minutes.

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the leeks and sea salt flakes, then stir, cover and soften for 10 minutes on a low heat, stirring occasionally. Once the leeks have softened, let them cool down, then press them between a few sheets of kitchen roll to remove any excess moisture.

Mix the leeks with the grated cheese, mustard, sage, egg yolks, breadcrumbs and black pepper. With lightly floured hands, form the mixture into 8 small sausages and put them on a floured plate. Cover and chill for at least an hour, or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6. Transfer the sausages to a lined baking sheet, brush them with olive oil, and bake for 30 minutes. Then finish them off on the barbecue for a few minutes on each side to char.

Serve in hot dog rolls, 2 to each roll, with more mustard.
