Making Crépinettes

These little French delicacies are a kind of homemade sausage - minced meat with breadcrumbs and seasonings encased in a parcel of caul (see box). Traditionally, pork sausagemeat is used, but you can use minced lamb, veal or poultry. Crépinettes can be pan-fried as directed here, or grilled or oven-baked for the same length of time.
