Goa Sausages have been reviewed by Franz Scheurer and other gourmet chefs in and outside of Australia and they have a lot to say about the uniqueness of this well-known food from Goa. Please visit their site http://australiangourmetpages.com
The Portuguese have left a large culinary legacy in Goa. The food in that province of India is quite different and the Portuguese influence is very evident. There are not many Goan restaurants in Australia, nor do many Indian restaurants have Goan dishes on their menu. So it was of great interest when I heard that the Mac Marshall Food Products Company in Kingsley, Western Australia was producing a traditional Goan sausage. This sausage is chorizo style with Goan spicing. I managed to get hold of some of these “sangers” and decided to cook them in a variety of ways to explore their potential. The texture of the sausage is excellent. Although I have an above average tolerance to heat, I must say that I think they are too hot. To appreciate the taste (which is good) you literally have to use these sausages as a condiment. (I might as well just use the spices and cook with pork fat). When I feel like eating a sausage then I want great big chunks of it, not a shaving. If they toned down the heat, you could appreciate the flavours a lot more and they might be a winner. I liked the Goan sausage sliced very thinly, stir-fried with lots of finely chopped lemongrass and ginger, a good measure of palm sugar and served with freshly shucked oysters with a dollop of horseradish cream. Try it for yourself.
