In a saucepan, add a small amount of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the boiling water. Add the cut carrot, beetroot, and 1 clove of garlic into the steamer basket. Cover and steam until they are soft enough to be easily pierced with a knife. Set aside to cool slightly.

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Take a portion of the sausage mixture and place it onto the plastic wrap. Roll the mixture tightly within the plastic wrap, pressing firmly to shape it into a long, compact sausage. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap like a candy wrapper to seal and compress the sausage. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture to form multiple sausages.

Place the wrapped sausages on a tray and transfer them to the freezer. Freeze until they are firm, which will take at least 2 hours.

Once the sausages are firm, remove the plastic wrap from them. Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little butter, olive oil, or lard. Place the unwrapped sausages in the hot pan and brown them well on all sides until golden.

After browning, transfer the sausages to another pan containing the sauce of your choice. Simmer the sausages in the sauce for about 10 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
