INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

PLEASE NOTE: Always remove bones etc. from meat before mincing. Cut large pieces of meat into smaller chunks, and also try to remove large sections of fat from the meat before mincing.

• Plug in the appliance and switch on at the socket. Turn the appliance on by pressing the On/off button.

• Using the food pusher, gently guide small pieces of meat into the mincing chamber.

Add small quantities at a time to avoid overloading the motor.

• If you wish for the appliance to run at a slower speed, press the slow button.

• When you have finished mincing, switch off and unplug.

• To clean, see the ‘Care and Cleaning’ instructions.

PLEASE NOTE: The sausage filling should not be too ‘wet’, otherwise liquid may leak into the machine.

HINTS AND TIPS

• After 5 minutes’ use, let the machine rest for 10 minutes to allow the motor to cool down.

• Please avoid forcing ingredients down the chute with the food pusher as this may damage the machine. Also ensure that all bones and any large fatty areas on the meat are removed before mincing.

• Please assemble the mincing chamber carefully. If the pieces are not properly fitted, the meat will not mince well and the cutting blades and mincer discs may become blunt.

RECIPES

Please note that all spoon measurements are standard metric, so 1 tsp is 5ml and

1 tbsp is 15ml. We recommend using a set of measuring spoons for accurate results.

Set the sausage skins to soak in warm water for around 10 minutes.

Measure out all the seasonings and shake together in a screw-top jar.

Cut all the meat into pieces for mincing and place in a large bowl.

Sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mix, then mix well until the meat pieces are evenly coated.

Put the pork mixture through the mincer once, using the fine mincer disc. Return the mixture to the bowl and check the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Add some of the iced water to the mixture and mix well. Gradually add the remaining water.

Add the breadcrumbs and mix well. By now the mixture should be firming up.

Put the mixture through the mincer again, this time using the coarse mincer disc. The mixture is now ready to fill the sausage skins, following the instructions for ‘Using the

Sausage Maker’.

To cook the sausages, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over a low to medium heat and fry gently, turning occasionally until completely cooked through. These meaty, herby sausages are delicious served with mashed potatoes and a rich onion gravy.

WHAT YOU DO

To Make The Outer Casing:

Pass alternate batches of lamb and bulgur wheat through the mincer fitted with the medium disc. Add the onion before all the lamb and wheat are minced.

Mix the minced lamb, onion and wheat together then pass back through the mincer a second time.

Change to the fine disc and mince the mixture for a third time, alternatively continue mincing using the medium disc.

The mixture is now ready to extrude through the kebab maker attachment.

To Make The Filling:

Mince the lamb using the fine disc.

Fry the onion in the oil until golden brown, add the lamb and allow to brown and cook through. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Drain off any excess fat if necessary and allow to cool.

Extrude the casing mixture through the kebab maker and cut into approximately

7cm lengths.

Pinch one end of the tube together and then using a piping bag, carefully fill with the stuffing mixture through the open end leaving a small gap which can be pinched together to seal the kebab.

Deep fry the kebab in batches in hot oil 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5 for approximately

6 minutes or until golden brown and the filling piping hot.
