🍳 Cooking Methods
🔥 BBQ / Grill (Recommended)
- Temp: 180–200°C
- Time: 12–18 minutes
- Turn regularly for even cooking
👉 Avoid high heat early—sugar can burn and casing can split.
🔥 Low & Slow Finish
- Start indirect at 140–150°C for 20 minutes
- Finish direct heat for colour
👉 Great for thicker sausages.
🍳 Pan Fry
- Medium heat
- Cook 12–15 minutes, turning regularly
🌡️ Internal Temp

- Rest 3–5 minutes before serving
🪵 Wood Pairings

Cherry wood – Adds colour and subtle fruitiness
-
Olive wood (if available) – Authentic Mediterranean character
👉 Avoid heavy woods like mesquite—they overpower the herb profile.

❓ FAQs
Can I use this with meats other than lamb?

Do I need a sausage stuffer?
Yes for traditional sausages, but you can also make patties or logs without one.
Can I skip the eggs or breadcrumbs?
You can, but they help with texture and moisture retention.
Is this spicy?
No, it’s a mild seasoning focused on herbs and savoury flavours.
How long should I rest sausages before cooking?
At least overnight for best flavour development.
Can I freeze the sausages?
Yes, freeze raw or cooked sausages in airtight packaging.
Why did my sausages split?
