How to Cook Pigs in Blankets

1. Remove your pigs in blankets out of the packaging and pat dry any moisture.
2. Gently heat your heavy based non-stick frying pan, don't get it too hot otherwise the bacon will start to burn, we just want to start the cooking process by rendering a little fat and giving a light caramelisation.
3. Brush the non-stick frying pan with the finest film of oil.
4. Don't overcrowd the cooking base, the sausages must sit flat and have enough room to turn over.
5. Cook over a medium heat turning regularly until they reach a light golden colour, around 3-4 minutes.
6. Next, simply pop on a roasting tray preferably around your roast and cook for another 6-8 minutes until rich and caramelised.
7. The sausages will become more firm as they cook, gently press with your thumb, the more spring back you get the hotter the protein cells have expanded which means the more well done your sausages will be.

Serve with roast turkey, goose or cockerel with traditional winter vegetables and cranberry sauce, or simply enjoy as a snack over the festive period.
