Savor the hearty flavors of Cumberland Sausage, a traditional British delight made with succulent pork shoulder and aromatic herbs. Ideal for a cozy weekend breakfast or a satisfying dinner with friends.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg pork shoulder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 m natural sausage casings

Method

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced pork with salt, black pepper, dried sage, thyme, and water. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the sausage casings by rinsing them thoroughly and soaking them in water for about an hour to soften.

  3. 3

    Stuff the sausage mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill. Twist into links every 6 inches and tie the ends securely.

  4. 4

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, remove the sausages from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve Cumberland sausages hot with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, or enjoy them in a bun with your favorite toppings.
