Essentials for Aussie Gourmet Sausage Sizzle - for backyard BBQ or cosy kitchen snack


As the weather turns cooler Down Under, a refreshing outdoor dining experience becomes a preferred option. Sausage sizzle is suitable for backyard barbie, pan-fried, or oven grilled in the kitchen. Serve as mains (double sized portion) or as a snack.

Essential ingredients

Hot :


Gourmet sausages - preferably beef with spices for more intense flavour.
Onions
Carrots (optional)

Cold :

Lettuce
Cucumber
Tomato
Sweet Gerkins

Seasoning and Sauces :
Tomato ketchup (naturally flavoured without additives preferable) Dijon mustard
BBQ sauce
Pepper

Avoid adding salt if possible because sausages are quite tasty as it is)

Hot dog bread (sesame seeds - optional) : slit the centre slightly just sufficient for inserting meat and vegetables but do not cut through.

Method

It is easy if you follow a few golden rules of the thumb :

- Sizzle sausages at medium heat to ensure it is thoroughly cooked. Then adjust the heat accordingly for golden or brown outer. Turn over and cook well especially for chicken and pork.

- Put in onions later or at the sides where the fire is lower because they tend to caramelise and burn easily.

- Assemble the hot dog sandwich, add vegetables and condiments, squeeze and spread sauces.

- Plate and it's ready to be served.
