Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 10 grams Fine sea salt
- 5 grams White pepper
- 3 grams Ground nutmeg
- 3 grams Coriander powder
- 2 grams Ground allspice
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well blended.
Add the breadcrumbs, sea salt, white pepper, nutmeg, coriander powder, and ground allspice to the meat mixture. Use your hands to combine the dry ingredients evenly into the meat.
Gradually pour in the milk while mixing the meat. Continue kneading and mixing until the mixture becomes uniform and slightly sticky. This will help bind the ingredients together.
Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin lined with plastic wrap or baking parchment. Firmly press the mixture into the tin to remove any air pockets and create a compact block.
Place the loaf tin in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the sausage to set and absorb the flavors.
Once firm, remove the sausage mixture from the loaf tin and cut it into 1 cm thick slices. Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter.
Fry the Lorne sausage slices for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately as part of a traditional Scottish breakfast, in a roll, or with your favorite sides.
