• 500 grams pork shoulder, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon sage, dried
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 meter sausage casings
• 2 tablespoons oil

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the minced pork shoulder, salt, black pepper, thyme, sage, and water. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. 2

   Prepare the sausage casings by rinsing and soaking them in cold water for at least 30 minutes if they are natural casings.

3. 3

   Using a sausage stuffer or piping bag, fill the casings with the sausage mixture, being careful not to overstuff. Tie off the ends securely.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausages to the pan, cooking them for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through.

5. 5

   Remove sausages from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving whole.

6. 6

   Serve hot with mashed potatoes and gravy or with baked beans for a traditional Irish meal.
