Clean Eating Cocktail Sausages – ‘Pigs In Blankets’

So this is in no way supposed to be a healthy recipe. It barely deserves the title of ‘clean eating’ but here is the thing, how often do you make ‘pigs in blankets’? Once a year at Christmas? If that?

I decided to blog this recipe as an alternative to nitrate & refined sugar/wheat filled pigs in blankets as we know them. These little beauts taste really good! Salty, but good! And if you wanted to make them for a buffet or to add to your Christmas dinner then they would certainly be enjoyed by all.

I am always on the look out for ‘clean’ sausages and even more so since Laverstoke Park Farm stopped selling theirs on Ocado. I have now found another brand called Eversfield Organic and their Gluten Free Sausages are now the only ‘clean’ ones I can find. Honestly, I can’t say that they are the nicest sausages I have ever eaten, but it is good to know that they are available if I want to make my Clean Eating Sausage Jambalaya. I have to say though, Eversfield Organic’s range of grass fed meat is amazing, you can purchase through their website or on Ocado.

These are the sausages I used in this recipe and the next best thing to clean sausages. The ingredients are;

Pork shoulder (58%), Pork belly (26%), honey, water, potato starch, sheep casing, herbs (rosemary, thyme and sage), sea salt, ground spices (nutmeg, ginger, black pepper, mace, mustard powder and chilli powder), antioxidant ascorbic acid.

Not too terrible for a sausage. No refined sugar, nitrates or wheat. The pack of 12 chipolatas cost £3.49 and you can purchase them from Waitrose or Ocado. They were a big hit in our house, my boys (including my husband) LOVED them.
