Ingredients
- 15 Mini chipolatas
- 15 rashers smoked streaky bacon
- 100 ml Life's a Peach BBQ sauce
- 1 tbsp American mustard
- 1 tbsp Honey
- Generous pinch of salt & Pepper
- Sesame seeds and diced Jalapeno to serve
Instructions
Prep
- Combine the mustard, honey and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Prick each sausage three times. Not only will this stop the sausages bursting, but it will allow the mustard to penetrate the meat.
- Add the sausages to the mustard bowl and mix well, until every sausage is evenly coated.
- Wrap each sausage in a rasher of bacon.
Cooking in the oven
- Place the hogs on a roasting tray and roast for 15 minutes at 180°C.
- Remove the hogs from the oven and brush them with sauce again.
- Return to the oven for a further 15 minutes at 200°C.
- Remove from the oven, slather with sauce, garnish with sesame seeds and finely diced jalapenos.
- Serve.
Cooking in the smoker
- Place the hogs on a wire rack above a drip tray.
- Cook indirect for 30 minutes at 125°C.
- Remove the hogs from the smoker and brush them with sauce again.
- Return to the smoker for a further 30 minutes at 170°C, or internal temperature reaches 75°C.
- Remove from the smoker, slather with sauce, garnish with sesame seeds and finely diced jalapenos.
- Serve.
Notes
You can use regular cocktail sausages for this recipe, but I find you get a much more substantial result if you can find yourself some decent size mini chipolatas from the butchers.
