Cooking instructions for Glamorgan Sausages:

• To make the sausages, add a knob of butter into a large skillet and melt it over moderate heat.
• Toss the sliced leek into it and stir fry for 8-10 minutes or until they soften yet doesn’t change colour.
• Place 3 ½ oz of the breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl, along with cheese as well as chopped herbs and stir them all together until mixed properly.
• Place the egg yolks in a separate bowl, followed by a dash each of seasonings as well as mustard and blend them into a uniform mixture.
• Transfer the fried leeks into the breadcrumb mixture and pour in the whisked egg yolk mixture.
• Give them a nice stir until well combined and split the mixture into 8 equal portions.
• Roll each of them into sausage-shaped pieces and lay them out onto a shallow dish, lined earlier with a cling film.
• Beat the egg whites in a bowl slightly until they form foams and set aside.
• Scatter 1 ½ oz the breadcrumbs onto a plate set aside too.
• Lower the sausages into the beaten egg whites and transfer them onto the plate with breadcrumbs.
• Roll them to coat evenly and transfer them onto a greased baking tray.
• Set them aside in a fridge for half an hour to chill.
• To make the relish, drizzle oil in a large skillet and throw in the onions.
• Sauté for 20 minutes, stirring often, until they soften and brown slightly.
• Sprinkle the chilli into it, followed by garlic and stir them into the relish.
• Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, while stirring all the time and sprinkle the sugar into it.
• Add a splash of vinegar into it, stir and bring up the relish to a simmer.
• Cook until the mixture thickens and appears somewhat glossy.
• Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Spoon it into a serving bowl and set aside.
• Heat oil in a deep-bottomed skillet over moderate heat and lower the sausages into it, few at a time, to fry for 10 minutes.
• Flip them over from time to time while frying, until they crisp up and turn golden brown; drain them out onto a paper-towel lined plate and arrange them onto a large platter.
• Serve them warm alongside the relish.
