MIx the wine and minced meat into an even batter. Place the batter in a piping bag and pipe into sausage casings. Tie them to make a sufficient number of sausages for your party. Prick the skins with a toothpick (to avoid the sausage bursting) and cook in a steam oven at 100°C for 5 minutes, or in a regular oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Pan fry sausages just prior to serving to get the heat back up and to get a nice golden hue to the skins.

Malt mayonnaise

Blacken the pepper with a blowtorch and place in a well sealed bag for 5 minues. Remove the pepper from the bag and pull the skin off, dice into  5×5 mm pieces. Now dice the cucumber into 5×5 mm cubes. Place the mustard seeds in the pickling liquid and cook for 7 min, place cucumber and peppers in the liquid (with the mustard seeds). Just before serving, strain the liquid and add the danish cress. Season with salt and pepper.

Deep fried onions and pickled onion

• 100 g Banana shallots
• 50 ml Plain flour
• ½ White onion
• 50 ml Champagne vinegar

Peel and slice shallots thinly into rings (on a mandolin if you have one). Separate the onion layers and turn over in the flour. Shake off superfluous flour and deep fry in oil (130°C) until golden and crispy. Season with salt and drain on kitchen roll. Chop the white onion finely and mix with the champagne vinegar – set aside until it’s time to serve.

Caramelised spiced sugar & smoked buns

Pour onto a silicone mat (or baking tray with baking paper) and spread out thinly, allow to cool. Chop finely and set aside until time to serve. Pick the water cress and place in ice cold water.

Put the sausage buns in a container with a tight lid. Add some oil and smoke with smoker, allow the bread to absorb the smoke. Heat the buns in the oven at 180°C for 2 mins before serving.
