Well, I'm not sure how one is supposed to cook these sausages, but in a frying pan was not it, as you can see from the photo. I wish I had thought to video the sausage while it was exploding. It was like an alien.
The upshot was though, I added sausage mess to leftover polenta that I mixed with onion, an egg, and goat cheese and baked it in individual ramekins. The result was fantastic...kind of like a baked pudding similar to bread pudding.
