INGREDIENTS
2 cabana sausages
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
sourdough bread, sliced thickly
good quality Dijon mustard
mayonnaise
tomato sauce
beer of your choice, to serve
METHOD
Slice sausages in half lengthways and then into 10cm lengths. Preheat a char-grill pan until very hot.
Toss sausages in a large bowl with olive oil and paprika. Chargrill sausages on all sides for approximately 10 minutes or until browned, slightly crispy and heated through.
Brush bread with any remaining oil and grill on one side on same grill. The bread will warm through and absorb some of the flavours from the sausage oil on the grill pan.
Arrange sausages and bread on a clean bread board with little bowls of mustard, mayonnaise and tomato sauce to accompany.
Serve with beer of your choice.
