What each ingredient does
- Sausages
- Provide the main filling and are cooked until browned on all sides.
- Lard
- Adds fat for frying, helping the sausages brown evenly and develop flavour.
The step that matters
Prick the sausages before frying. Pricking lets steam escape as the sausage heats, so the casing is less likely to split and burst in the hot fat.
