Put all the ingredients in a bowl (except the casings) and mix well until fully combined. Cover bowl with a plastic wrap, let it marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.

If stuffing in a casing, twist the casing about every 2-3 inches and tie off. If making patties, scoop up some meat mixture and roll into a ball and flatten to a circle about 3-4 inches across and just under 1/2 inch thick, place between wax paper or foil sheets. For casings or patties, place in the fridge overnight before freezing to let them dry out a bit.

To cook the links, place uncut sausages in a pan, prick each link 1-2 times then add water to the pan about half way up on the sausage and cook on medium heat. Cook until the water is nearly all gone and turn the sausages occasionally. To cook the patties just heat a splash of olive oil in a pan and add the patties, cook one side until golden brown then flip and cook the other side, about 5-7 minutes per side.
