Kid Friendly Dinner - Crumbed Sausages with Savoury Sauce

Back once again, to The Trusty Triple Tested Cookbook.
It really does have some good basic food, that suits kids.
These Crumbed Sausages with Savoury Sauce, have been very popular with the Grandkids
Not the most attractive looking dish, but very tasty
I went into the Posh Supermarket to buy the sausages, but I think basically the kids just like a good old fashioned Beef sausage, so off to the Supermarket Supermarket, I went.

You can prepare this earlier on the day, and cook in the oven, just before you need it
Will take about 10-15 minutes.

I thought this time I would accompany the sausages with corn fritters
This gets extra vege into the kids.
Everyone likes Corn fritters, surely

I used the base for my fritters in this recipe click here, to get the recipe,
replacing the seafood and spinach with, frozen corn, red pepper and onion.
So
2 sausages per person
3 tablespoons Flour
Freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Breadcrumbs. As much as you need to coat the sausages, this will vary
Oil for frying,  2-3 tablespoons


Sauce
½ cup Ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon soya sauce



Place the sausages into a pot, cover with cold water
Bring to the boil and simmer for about 2-3 minutes
Drain, cool and remove skins

Mix pepper into flour, on a plate
Beat egg with water in a shallow bowl
And lay breadcrumbs on a paper towel

Dip skinned sausages into flour
Then egg mix
Finally into breadcrumbs

Best to let them set, for at least 15 minutes
Makes a better crust when you cook them

In a medium hot pan
Add oil
Lightly brown the sausages all over
Place into an oven dish

You can leave them in the fridge till you need them

When you are ready to go
Preheat oven to 190C


Combine all the Sauce Ingredients
Pour sauce over the sausages, making sure each has a good coating
Bake 10-15 minutes till golden

Serve, as I did with Corn Fritters or
Mashed potatoes and broccoli go well
Kids seem to adore them

We had leftovers
So the next day, I cooked up some Cous cous
Fried some chopped onion,
Diced carrot and diced celery in olive oil
Quantities up to you
Cut up the leftover sausages into medium dice
Threw onto the pan

Mixed the lot into the hot Cous cous
Lunch
