Chilli and Honey Sausage Bites

Submitted by Rachel C

"A favourite in our house either at parties or just because we fancy a 'picky food' evening meal - very easy to adapt to your personal preference for heat and flavour by substituting hot sauce for sweet chilli, or a chutney or relish in lieu of honey for a fruity edge. You could even use speciality sausages but I use just 'bulk' frozen from the supermarket. Quantity makes enough for 4-6 pieces for 6 people"

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 32 pieces
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 8 sausages
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

directions

1. Grill/broil the sausages until cooked. Once cooked, cut each sausage into 3 - 5 pieces, depending on sausage size and how delicate you want your 'bites' to be!
2. Put the honey and chilli sauce in a pan and warm on a low heat. When it starts to lightly bubble, add the sausage pieces and toss in the sauce for a few minutes. Do not overheat or cook for a long time or the honey-chilli mix will turn to brittle toffee and you'll have burnt toffee-sausages when they cool.
3. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan on a low heat for a couple of minutes, tossing regularly. Tip the sausages into a serving bowl and sprinkle the seeds over the top. Serve slightly warm for best flavour.

Made these as another of those dishes I took to our park-wide kids' taste-testing potluck, & it was supervised so that each kid could get no more than 1 or 2 bites of any one dish, which meant that these great tasting munchies went a long way! I'll definitely make them again, & not just for the kids, either! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]
