Method
- To make the sausages:
- Roughly chop the chicken and bacon and put in a food processor with the breadcrumbs, egg, garlic and seasoning.
- Process until mixed but not too smooth
- Mix in the thyme
- Divide the mixture into 12, shape into sausages
- By hand, rub each sausage in oil
- Chill, covered, until ready to cook
- Fry sausages in a non-stick pan, adding extra oil, if necessary, for 12-15 minutes over a medium heat, until cooked through and browned.
- Melt the butter gently in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and let them soften for 5 minutes
- Add the milk and set aside until ready to serve
- Reheat, then add small chunks of bread and the cream to the pan until the bread soaks up the milk and cream.
- Season well, adding freshly grated nutmeg
- Serve mash sprinkled with thyme leaves, along with the sausages and cranberry relish or sauce.
