Beef Sausage

About Our Beef Sausage

We make our own sausages, in our own deli, from the same beef we sell on the counter. That sentence is the whole selling point. A sausage is only ever as good as the meat that went into it, and most mass-produced sausages are a way of turning the cheapest possible trim into something that can be sold at a premium. Ours are not.

The result is a sausage that tastes of beef rather than of rusk and seasoning, that browns properly instead of leaking water into the pan, and that holds together on a grill. They are seasoned to be eaten with other things - breakfast, a choma platter, ugali, a roll - rather than shouting over them.

Cook them gently. High heat splits the skin and forces the fat out before the middle is hot; medium heat for ten to twelve minutes, turned regularly, gives you an evenly browned sausage that is still juicy inside. Never prick them. They are a fixture on any nyama choma spread, and they sit well beside our beef burger patties and samosas.

How to Cook Beef Sausage

• Medium heat, 10-12 minutes, turning often. High heat splits the skins.
• Never prick a sausage - you are letting out the fat that keeps it moist.
• A splash of water in a covered pan for the first 5 minutes steams them through, then brown.
• On charcoal, keep them to the cooler edge of the grill and move them often.
• They freeze well - separate with baking paper so they do not fuse together.
