Recipe by Graham 

Don't go all snobby on me and tell me that Sticky Sausage in a Roll has no place on a recipe web site, because I say that any food requiring preparation is fair game! Anyway, it's not just a sausage sandwich, it's a posh sausage sandwich - so stick that in your ciabatta and eat it!

To serve 2:

1 tablespoon duck (or goose) fat
4 thick pork sausages
1 large onion
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon clear honey
2 individual ciabatta rolls
  tomato ketchup (or HP sauce)

How to Cook Sticky Sausage in a Roll

  1. Heat a little of the duck fat in a heavy frying pan and slowly cook the sausages for about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, peel and slice the onion.
  2. Now add the rest of the duck fat to the pan, add the onion slices and cook very gently until caramelised (about 10 minutes). Stir in the balsamic vinegar, mustard and honey, then add back the sausages for about 5 minutes, to warm up. Pile into the ciabatta with the sauce of your choice.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Soft, richly flavoured caramelised onions are a wonderful accompaniment to many other foods. Check out the recipe.
 
GRAHAM'S WINE RECOMMENDATION:
Just because it's a snack doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy a glass of wine with it. Here, a Pinotage grape like Diemersfontein Pinotage (a uniquely South African grape variety) works well. Pinotage has a truly rustic character so is a natural with just about anything barbecued or fried.
