Questions about Spicy sausage
How do you cook fresh spicy sausages in a frying pan?
Cook them over a medium-low heat for about 15–20 minutes, turning regularly so they brown without scorching. For a safety check, the centre should reach 70°C for 2 minutes.
Should you prick spicy sausages before cooking?
No. Leaving the skin intact helps keep the juices in; turn the sausages as they cook instead.

Cut into the thickest one: it should be steaming hot throughout, with no pink meat. If you use a food thermometer, aim for 70°C for 2 minutes.

What can you make with spicy sausages?
Brown them whole for a sausage casserole or traybake, or slit the skins and crumble the meat into pasta sauce. Add it early so the chilli and spices flavour the dish.
