HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE LORNE SAUSAGE (SCOTTISH SQUARE SAUSAGE)



How to Make Homemade Lorne Sausage (Scottish Square Sausage) image

Traditional Scottish sausage in an untraditional sausage shape: square or rectangular, to be more precise!

Provided by adapted by Christina Conte

Time 23m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb (454 g) ground beef
1 lb (454 g) ground pork
1 1/2 cups fine breadcrumbs
1 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp coriander
2 tsp Diamond Kosher salt (do not use 2 tsp of table salt or it will be too salty)
5 oz (1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp) of water

Steps:

  • Prepare a loaf tin by lining it with plastic wrap. (I wish there was something else to use, but I can't think of what will work in its place.)
  • Mix the meat together in a large bowl until it forms a uniform consistency.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs with the spices and salt, and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the meat mixture, then add the water.
  • Using a fork or your hands, mix all the ingredients together until it is evenly combined. This may take a few minutes.
  • Put the meat into the lined loaf tin and push it against the bottom and sides of the tin to try to remove any air gaps. These will be holes in the sausage if they aren't removed. When it's completely tight, cover the top of the sausage with plastic wrap and place the loaf tin in the freezer for about 3 hours.
  • Remove the in from the freezer and the sausage from the tin. Place on a cutting board, and with a sharp knife, cut into slices. You can make them as thick as you like, but they shouldn't be extremely thick.
  • Place on a plastic cutting mat or tray and freeze until hard, then put into a freezer bag or container to keep frozen.
  • Remove the number of slices you want to cook and allow to thaw in the fridge.
  • Once thawed, fry in bacon fat, or a little olive oil, as part of a full Scottish breakfast.

Number Of Ingredients 9

450g (1lb) minced beef

120ml (1/2 cup) cold water

Steps:

  • Line your loaf tin, or whatever you're using to make the square sausage, with clingfilm, with enough hanging over the edges to wrap over the opening once you've put the sausage meat in it.
  • Add all the ingredients to a bowl and use your hands to thoroughly combine.
  • Squash the sausage meat into the loaf tin as densely as possible. If you have any leftover you can set aside to make meat patties out of it!

  • Remove the sausage from the tin using the clingfilm to lift it out and then cut into 1cm slices.
  • You can use it immediately, put it in the fridge to be used within the next 2 days, or put pieces of baking paper between slices and place them in a container to fully freeze and pull out to use as you wish.
  • Cook in a frying pan for a few minutes each slide or grill and then serve in a morning roll with your choice of sauce, or as part of a full Scottish breakfast!

SCOTTISH LORNE SAUSAGES: SQUARE BREAKFAST SAUSAGE!



Scottish Lorne Sausages: Square Breakfast Sausage! image

Wherever you go in Scotland you will come across Scottish Lorne Sausage, which are square and sliced. Whether you be in a Hotel, a Guest House or a Bed and Breakfast, you will be offered a Scottish cooked breakfast, that will usually include the slices of this Scottish Lorne sausage. It is nearly always on a breakfast menu, along with bacon, egg, and "tattie" (potato) scones, and many Scots will eat it in a bread roll for lunch or maybe serve it with potatoes and vegetables for dinner. This is an easy recipe - and the sausage can be frozen in slices for ease and convenience. Prep time includes chilling time. What's in a name? It is thought that the Lorne sausage, which also goes by the names of square sausage, sliced sausage or sausage slice, was an invention of the Scottish comedian Tommy Lorne who lived from 1890 and died in 1935. He was born in Kirkintilloch near Glasgow. His birth name was Hugh Gallagher Corcoran. Tommy Lorne performed in many Scottish theatres and often performed in Glasgow and Edinburgh and was much in demand for pantomime. In his own acts he would apply white make-up and wear a short kilt, a glengarry, boots that were far too big for him and a jacket that was short. He spoke in an hilarious high pitched voice. It is thought that Lorne sausages were named after Tommy Lorne because of one of his famous catchphrase: "sausages are the boys" - he loved his sausages! He often ate a sausage sandwich between his acts. It has even been suggested that not only were Lorne sausages named after Tommy Lorne and to give people an easy to make sausage sandwich, but that Tommy Lorne was the inventor of the Lorne sausage.

LORNE-STYLE FRESH BREAKFAST SAUSAGE



Lorne-Style Fresh Breakfast Sausage image

Lorne is a fresh, uncured, uncased, spiced sausage traditionally served as a Scottish breakfast staple. The spice combination is more reminiscent of a French meat pie or a black pudding rather than an American country sausage. Lorne is traditionally served with soft potato flatbreads called "Tatties."

Categories     Breakfast Beef

Time 2h40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds ground beef
2 pounds ground pork
¼ cup bread crumbs
¼ cup beef broth
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons onion powder, or more to taste
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
1 ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper, or more to taste
1 ¼ teaspoons ground coriander, or more to taste
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground allspice, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix together ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, beef broth, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper, 1 1/4 teaspoons coriander, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice in a large bowl until well combined. Shape some of the mixture into 2 or 3 small patties and place remaining sausage mixture in the refrigerator.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sausage patties and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side; do not overcook or sausages will be dry. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Taste cooked sausages, adding more salt, pepper, and/or spices to the uncooked mixture as desired. Press uncooked sausage mixture into loaf pans and place in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove sausage "loaves" from the pans and slice into 1/2-inch slabs. Separate slabs with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator if you will be cooking all sausage within 4 days. Cook as directed above, over medium-low heat.

Tips:

  • Buy the highest quality ground pork you can find. The better the pork, the better your sausage will be.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices. Dried herbs and spices will not give your sausage as much flavor.
  • Do not overmix the sausage. Overmixing will make the sausage tough.
  • Chill the sausage before cooking. This will help it hold its shape while cooking.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat. High heat will cause the sausage to burn on the outside before it is cooked through.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the sausage is cooked to an internal temperature of 155°F. This will ensure that the sausage is safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Lorne sausage is a delicious and versatile breakfast sausage that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sausage that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying breakfast, give Lorne sausage a try!
