2 tbsp butter

2 cloves garlic, crushed

½ tsp salt

Method

1

To caramelise the onion, place the butter in a small frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and cook, stirring for 10 minutes or until the onion has softened and caramelised. Remove from the heat and transfer the onions into a fine sieve over a clean bowl. Press the onions into the sieve to remove the excess butter. Set the onions aside and reserve the butter for cooking the sausages.

2

To prepare the mushrooms, place the butter and garlic in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt. Remove from the heat and transfer the mushrooms into a fine sieve over a clean bowl. Press the mushrooms into the sieve to remove as much excess liquid as possible**. Set the mushrooms aside and discard the liquid.

3

Place all of the ingredients for the sausages in a large bowl. Add the caramelised onion and cooked mushrooms. Stir to combine.

4

To make the sausages, set up a sausage maker or a mix master with a sausage making attachment. Place the sausage casing over the nozzle and start passing the sausage mixture through the machine. As the sausage casings fill, twist the casing once the desired sausage length has been achieved. Continue to pass the sausage mixture through the machine until it has all been used. You should have approximately 6 thick sausages.

5

Cover the sausages and set aside until ready to cook.

**Removing the liquid from the mushrooms is an important step to ensure the sausages don't burst when cooking.
