I have a family member who is coeliac. I was wondering what I could use in place of rusk or breadcrumbs to make him some nice sausages.
Is rice or barley a go on this or does it change the texture of the sausage?

Cooked rice and rice flour are good as are oats. Not sure about barley though as a binder although it's a great ingredient for texture.
You could just use a good meat/fat mix. Most of the sausages I make are done without rusk or breadcrumbs. Normally the only bread I use is to force the last bit of meat through the mincer and most of that never makes the mix.

How do I incorporate the cooked rice, do I mince it with the meat or mix it when the meat is minced???

my daughter has coeliac disease and and is not allowed barley. rice is fine and if you wanted to use breadcrumbs you can buy gluten free at sainsburys in their 'free from' range.

I just grind up Tesco porridge oats and find them OK. Give them a try in a small patty. I hope it helps.

You could use a gluten free sausage mix if necessary. I use a few different ones for some of my customers and they think they are the dogs dangy bits.

Health food stores have various types of gluten free flours. I have also heard that quinoa, because it is a seed, is a good substitute, though you will have to grind it.
