Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80% lean)
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 10 grams Fine sea salt
- 5 grams White pepper
- 3 grams Ground nutmeg
- 3 grams Coriander powder
- 2 grams Ground allspice
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well blended.
Step 2
Add the breadcrumbs, sea salt, white pepper, nutmeg, coriander powder, and ground allspice to the meat mixture. Use your hands to combine the dry ingredients evenly into the meat.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the milk while mixing the meat. Continue kneading and mixing until the mixture becomes uniform and slightly sticky. This will help bind the ingredients together.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a loaf tin lined with plastic wrap or baking parchment. Firmly press the mixture into the tin to remove any air pockets and create a compact block.
Step 5
Place the loaf tin in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the sausage to set and absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Once firm, remove the sausage mixture from the loaf tin and cut it into 1 cm thick slices. Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or butter.
Step 8
Fry the Lorne sausage slices for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Serve immediately as part of a traditional Scottish breakfast, in a roll, or with your favorite sides.
