SAUSAGES… Appetizer or a Quick and easy Meal BANGALORE PEPPER SAUSAGES
The meaning of the word “Sausage” in the dictionary means “Chopped or ground meat that has been blended with spices and other seasonings and usually stuffed in natural or manufactured casings”.
The origin of meat processing is lost in antiquity but probably began when mankind learned that salt is an effective preservative. Sausage making evolved as an effort to economize and preserve meat that could not be consumed fresh at slaughter. Sausage makers use almost all parts of the animal carcass that cannot be used in other ways. The less tender cuts and organ meats are ground, spiced and made into delicious sausages.
There are lots of innovative ways that you could use sausages besides having them with your Toast and Eggs at Breakfast. You could slice / dice fried sausages and serve them on crackers with cheese as an appetizer. Dice them and add in salads, soups, curries, etc. Grill the sausages and eat with a creamy garlic dip. Use them in Casseroles and Bakes with other vegetables and meats or you could just make a very delicious curry dish with them as under.
RECIPE FOR BANGALORE PEPPER SAUSAGES
Ingredients
1 kg Ground pork (add a sufficient amount of small finely cut pieces of Fat to the mince)
2 pieces cinnamon about 1 inch each
4 cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg powder
Salt to taste
2 teaspoons pepper corns
1 teaspoon garlic paste
2 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves (optional)
Sufficient quantity of casing for stuffing the sausages
Roughly powder the cinnamon, cloves and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together well and stuff into the casing. Grill or Fry when required. These sausages should be kept in the refrigerator and used up within 2 weeks as no preservatives have been used.

4 slices of quality bread
mayonnaise (for spreading)
romaine lettuce leaves

METHOD
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the bacon and cook until brown and crisp for about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Lightly toast the bread slices, and then spread each with mayonnaise. Layer on the bacon, lettuce, avocado, sprouts, and tomatoes onto two of the toasted slices of bread. Season with kosher salt and ground pepper to taste, and place remaining two toasted slices of bread on top, then cut in half. ~ Enjoy!
