With simple ingredients and easy steps, Glamorgan Sausages are a must-try for vegetarians and anyone craving a taste of Welsh culinary heritage.
Clean and finely slice the leeks. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add the leeks, and cook gently for about 8-10 minutes until soft but not browned. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated cheddar cheese, grated Caerphilly cheese, chopped parsley, and Dijon mustard. Mix well.
Add the cooked leeks to the mixture along with the milk and one beaten egg. Stir until the mixture binds together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a sausage about 4-5 inches long.
Prepare three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the remaining beaten egg, and one with extra breadcrumbs for coating.
Roll each sausage in the flour, dip it into the beaten egg, and then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sausages in batches for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently, until golden and crispy all over.
Drain the sausages on kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Serve hot with a side of salad, mashed potatoes, or a dollop of chutney.
