Sausages

Sausages and cold cuts are the simplest filling for sandwiches especially when you are not in the mood to do serious cooking.

Instead of just boiling or pan-frying the sausages and then just dumping them in bread, you can make a hearty sandwich by adding a few other ingredients to make it delicious and wholesome.

Some of you will say sausages are not a healthy ingredient. I agree but as long as do not make a habit of eating them every day, you should be alright. After all there are a lot of other unhealthy ingredients in our everyday diet.

As for cold cuts, these are practically cooked meat or sliced meat. You don’t have to cook them before eating.

I have created two recipes using CP sausages and cold cuts. They are easy to prepare and taste awesome. Can add on these recipes to your Ramadan menu.  

Wasabi Fettucine and Spiced Bologna Cold Cut

(For 3 to 4 persons)

240 gm Fettucine (boiled according to instruction on the packaging)

3 pieces of CP Spiced Bologna Cold Cut – cut into big squares

2 tsp wasabi paste (wasabi paste are normally eaten with Sushi)

1 tsp crushed black pepper

1 tbl white vinegar

8 pieces tiger prawns – devained and coated with a bit of salt

3 red chillies sliced

2 onions sliced

5 cm ginger julienned

Few stalks of coriander leaves chopped

3 tbl Olive oil

Salt

Preparation:

1.       Mix Spiced Bologna Cold Cuts with wasabi paste, black pepper and vinegar. Leave aside for about 15 to 20 minutes.

2.       Heat up olive oil in a wok, fry prawns till skin changes colour. Remove and put aside.

3.       In the same oil, fry onion, ginger and red chillies till onion becomes translucent.

4.       Add in marinated cold cuts and fry for 2 or 3 minutes.

5.       Add in the boiled pasta, chopped coriander and salt. Fry till all ingredients are well mixed. Do not over fry or else the pasta will be dry.

Oatmeal Bread Sandwich with Cheese Sausages

(For 2 persons)

1 loaf oatmeal bread (from Mustafa Centre Bakery)

1 tbl olive oil

2 pieces CP Cheese Sausages

1 onion sliced

4 pieces fresh button mushroom, washed and sliced

Salt

Mayonaise

1 Tomato sliced

Choice of green salad leaves

Preparation:

1.       Cut the loaf of bread vertically into half and heat up in the oven for a few minutes.

2.       Heat up olive oil in a pan and fry cheese sausages for just a few minutes. Do not over fry or else sausages will shrink and they become rubbery. Remove sausages from the pan and put aside.

3.       In the same pan, caramelise onion and mushroom. They should be brown in colour when done.  Add in a bit of salt.

4.       To assemble the sandwich, spread some mayonnaise onto the bread and top the bottom half with mixture of onion and mushroom.

5.       Place the sausages (cut open) on top of the onion and mushroom followed by sliced tomato and salad leaves.

6.       Cover with the top half of the bread and you have a scrumptious sandwich.
