Pork Sausages With Ginger Onions And Apple Recipes

Steps:

• First make the breadcrumbs in a food processor, so they are fine.
• Mince (or grind) the pork, then add the onion to the grinder, and finally the apple (peeled and cored). Add all the herbs and nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill your sausage filler (either machine or hand operated one) and put the skins over the end of the nozzle.
• Fill slowly so that the skins do not burst, and twist the finished sausages into the required size.
• Since nothing has been pre-frozen, these will freeze well.
• Various adaptations can be made, by adding either sun-dried tomato puree, or garlic puree for instance.
• Prior to cooking, pierce the skins to prevent bursting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180dC.
• Heat oil in a heavy based pan, add onions, apples and ginger and cook until soft.
• Add mustard seeds and water and cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove mixture to warmed ovenproof dish.
• Deglaze pan with cider and add to onion mixture.
• Fry sausages in pan until browned.
• Drain and add to onion mixture.
• Bake in oven, uncovered for 25-30 mins.
• Serve with mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag, add the chops, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, ginger, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large saute pan heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to almost smoking, then add pork chops, shaking off excess marinade. Brown on both sides, then place on a sheet pan and put in the oven for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F.
• In the same saute pan deglaze with wine then add onions, apples and raisins and cook until apples are soft and onions are translucent. Add butter salt and pepper, to taste, and keep warm.
• Remove chops from oven and add to the apple mixture. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for high heat.
• With a fork, poke sausages several times. Place in a pot, cover with water, and simmer over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Warm butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in apples, vinegar, and brown sugar; cook, stirring gently, until caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place sausages on grill (or under broiler), and cook until well browned. Serve on a mound of caramelized apples and onions.

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil. Halve sausages lengthwise if desired. Cook until browned and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil to skillet if necessary. Add onion, and cook for 3 minutes. Add apples, stir, and cook until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in cider, and cook for 1 minute. Add sauerkraut, and heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer sauerkraut to a warm serving platter, and top with the sausages. Serve with pickles, cucumber, and mustards. (Sausages and sauerkraut can be kept warm, covered, in a 250-degree oven for up to an hour.)

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat.
• Add sausages and cook until beginning to brown, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Add onion and apple to sausages in pan; cook until onion and apple are tender and brown, stirring often, about 5 minutes.
• Add apple cider or juice and chopped sage; increase heat to high and stir until liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer apple and onion to 2 plates, dividing equally.
• Top with sausages.
• Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cider mixture.
• Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle over sausages and serve.

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons butter in a large cast-iron skillet or wide, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, season generously with salt and pepper and stir to coat with butter. Add bay leaf, cloves, allspice, caraway and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep onions from browning too quickly.
• Remove onions from pan and arrange on a platter. Put 2 more tablespoons butter in pan, and add apples. Raise heat to medium-high and brown apples on both sides, using a spatula to turn them, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove apples and arrange them on top of onions. Keep platter warm in a low oven.
• Keep stovetop heat at medium and place sausages in pan in one layer. Prick each sausage in several places with the tip of a sharp paring knife or toothpick.
• Let sausages brown slowly on one side (check their progress by turning them over with a fork or tongs) for 6 to 8 minutes. Lower the temperature if they're browning too quickly.
• Turn sausages over, and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Let water evaporate completely, then continue to let sausages brown slowly for about 5 more minutes. (Cooking sausages at too high a temperature will cause them to burst; err on the cooler side.)
• To serve, place cooked sausages in the center of the onion-apple mixture on platter. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook until beginning to brown, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add onion and apple to sausages in pan; cook until onion and apple are tender and brown, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add apple cider and chopped sage; increase heat to high and stir until liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Using slotted spoon, transfer onion and apple to 2 plates, dividing equally. Top with sausages. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cider mixture. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over sausages and serve.

Steps:

• Make the pork sausage:
• At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, chill all of your tools, including the bowl of the stand mixer, in the freezer.
• In a large bowl combine the pork butt, bacon, fatback, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, coriander, garlic and onion powders, and Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine.
• Using your meat grinder, grind the meat mixture through the medium die into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Cover the meat mixture and refrigerate until ready to use. Stuff the meat mixture into the sausage casings, and for best results, chill in the refrigerator overnight.
• Make the purple cabbage:
• In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the cabbage, vinegar, and chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Make the apple chutney:
• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the apples, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is jammy and slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Cook the sausage:
• Using a toothpick, prick each sausage a few times. In a heavy, large skillet over moderate heat, warm the olive oil and butter until hot but not smoking. Add the sausage and cook, turning over a couple times, until golden brown on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the sausage to a cutting board and cut into smaller pieces for serving.
• To serve:
• Divide the cabbage among 4 plates then top with sausage and apple chutney.

Steps:

• Warm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt and sugar. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and cook 20 minutes. Stir in flour, then add broth. Stir well. Cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar, and cook 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare oven broiler.
• Place sausages on a broiling pan; place under the broiler, and cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is dark brown and the sausages are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Pour onion sauce over sausages.

Steps:

• Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix maple syrup and brown sugar. Place apple and onion slices on 18-inch square of aluminum foil. Brush with half of the syrup mixture. Wrap foil securely around apples and onions. Cover and grill sausages and foil packet 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 15 minutes, turning sausages occasionally. Continue grilling about 5 minutes longer, brushing sausages with remaining syrup mixture, until sausages are no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining syrup mixture.1 Serving: Calories 175 (Calories from Fat 80) Fat 9g (Saturated 3g) Cholesterol 20mg Sodium 350mg Carbohydrate 20g (Dietary Fiber 2g) Protein 5g.Healthy Hint:Keep your grilling healthy and low-fat stay away from sauces and marinades loaded with butter and oils.
