Thanks Jarma
I'm intrigued by its simplicity and lack of traditional sausage spices. I'm guessing maybe you get a fresher flavour from the spring onions without things like ginger, mace, nutmeg and allspice getting in the way.
I'm gonna have to try this.
PS have you tried it with some Cheddar in?

funny you should mention this but, yes, im not a great fan of cheese but wifey loved em, and pesters me to make em again,may do one day ..ha..ha.
i just diced up some mature chedder i found in fridge (bout 1/4 pound) and added this to mix(as you prob worked out im not a scales person).
ive tried using mace and nutmeg (same thing?)added too but think i over done it and it was a bit potent tasting and put me off a bit, so i keep to simple additives, i made these off my own back so took a chance on how they'd turn out, quite nice to my surprise.
let me know what you think once you've made and consumed.

Nice recipe - do you leave any of the onion in larger pieces, or is it all finely ground?

in truth i just chop the green parts with a kitchen knife to a reasonably fine size, suppose you could use it all(except roots) and maybe leaving a few larger pieces may add a more oniony texture to it,
m.m.m i'll try it myself next time, sounds good.

Blimey! That's good sausage! This is one you can really sink your teeth into. I used the green part of the onion too, then added a smidge more freshly ground (large cracked) black pepper. I put 'em in a 22 mm collagen casing and they turned out to be one of the nicest I've ever had. Nice going Jarma. Good recipe guys! Many thanks.
Best wishes, Chuckwagon
glad to hear it!
