To make the sausage oil breadcrumbs
1. Melt the butter in a sauté pan with the grapeseed oil and fry the sausages over a high heat for 5-10 minutes until well caramelised.
2. Strain the oil through a sieve and reserve (discard the sausages). Heat the sausage-infused oil to 150°C. Add the breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and place in a dryer overnight to get rid of any excess oil.
