Champagne Sausages

[Bellasbangers]

A strange one, I know !! I have been asked if I can supply champagne sausages, so if anyone has a recipe for this, it would be much appreciated. I do want to try to keep the costs down, so I guess sparkling wine would do? Any clues?
Thanks

but at 200g black truffle you might want to modify the recipe a bit, maybe some truffle infused oil?

Thanks for that Dave - great recipe, but too expensive I would think. Love the idea of truffles though!!!!

I have made champagne sausages including the truffle for some friends who wanted something really "special" they were nice but to be honest I could not tell it was champagne as opposed to just white wine.

I make two sausages reguarly with white wine chicken, tarragon and lemon, and a version of an Italian style sausage. I can tell the difference, when I use a wine like sauvignon blanc as opposed to say a pinot grigio. but the champagne ones just tasted like the pinot grigio. So if you are going for sparkling I don't suggest you use a cristal.

Cheers

I love the sound of these. Any chance of the recipe? Many thanks, William.
