Potato And Sausage Hotpot Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. Cut large ones into three or four pieces: leave smaller ones whole. Finely chop the parsley. Boil the water and in it dissolve the bouillon cube.
• Grill or broil the sausages and bacon long enough to colour them. Be careful not to dry them out! Drain briefly on paper towels. When drained, chop the bacon into one-inch pieces. If you like, chop the sausages into large pieces as well. (Some people prefer to leave them whole.).
• Preheat the oven to 300F / 150°C In a large flameproof heavy pot with a tight lid, start layering the ingredients: onions, bacon, sausages or sausage pieces, potatoes. Season each layer liberally with fresh-ground pepper and the chopped fresh parsley. Continue until the ingredients are used up. Pour the bouillon mixture over the top. On the stove, bring the liquid to a boil. Immediately turn the heat down and cover the pot. (You may like to additionally put a layer of foil underneath the pot lid to help seal it.).
• Put the covered pot in the oven and cook for at least three hours. (Four or five hours won't hurt it.) At the two-hour point, check the pot and add more water if necessary. There should be about an inch of liquid at the bottom of the pot at all times.
• To Serve. Guinness, bottled or draft, goes extremely well with this dish (indeed, adding a little to the pot toward the end of the process wouldn't hurt anything). Another good accompaniment is fresh soda bread, used to mop up the gravy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium frying pan (one the sausages will fit in fairly snugly). Add the sausages and fry for 8-10 mins, turning them often. Turn the grill to high. Splash a couple of tablespoons of red wine into the pan if you are using it, then pour in the stock and stir in the caramelised red onions. Allow the mixture to bubble for 3-4 mins, so it thickens a little and turns into a rich gravy. Remove from the heat.
• Spread the potatoes so they roughly cover the sausages and gravy. Put the frying pan under the grill for about 8 mins until the potatoes turn crisp and golden. Serve while bubbling and hot - there is no need to add seasoning.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Partially cook the potatoes in salted boiling water for 10 minutes Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, fry the sausage pieces in a pan for 5 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Add the onion slices to the pan and fry for 5 minutes.
• Return the sausages to the pan with the baked beans, heat through and season to taste. Spoon the mixture into a casserole dish.
• Thinly slice the potato and arrange them on top of the bean mixture, overlapping them. Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 10 minutes Remove lid and cook for a further 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and fry the onion and sausages until starting to brown.
• Add the potato slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the mustard, if using, to the stock, then pour into the pan.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Scatter the cheese over the top of the potatoes and put the pan under the grill for 5 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
• Serve with steamed vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas6.
• In a large pan, fry the sausages on a moderate heat until browned. Set aside.
• Peel the potatoes, and place them, whole, into a pan of salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 10 mins, but keep checking them to make sure they do not overcook, they should be slightly softened but not cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
• In the same pan as you cooked the sausages, fry the sliced onion in 1tbsp olive oil on a medium heat until softened. Add the sugar and a tbsp of water, and stir for a few mins until the sugar is dissolved. Add the wine if you are using. Add the stock and chutney, stir well, and turn up the heat so the mixture is bubbling. Let it bubble for a few minutes, until it starts to thicken, then turn down to medium heat.
• Add the sausages to the pan with the onions, and cook for a few more minutes. Remove them from the pan and put into an ovenproof casserole dish. Pour the onions in their sauce over, and top with the mushrooms.
• Sprinkle with the oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little olive oil on the mushrooms.
• Slice the potatoes, slices should be about 1cm thick. Cover the sausage and mushroom mixture with the sliced potatoes, cover dish with foil, and bake in the centre of the oven. After 30 mins, remove the foil, and return to the oven for 15 mins, to crisp up the potatoes.
• Divide between 2 plates, pouring the sweet sauce over, and serve with a fried egg on top, and grilled tomatoes on the side.

Steps:

• Place the cabbage, carrots, beans, potatoes, the fresh peas, if using, the broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large heavy kettle (pot). Set over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the broth bubbles gently, cover, and cook without stirring for 20 minutes. Add the caraway seeds, marjoram, knockwurst, and frozen peas, if using, and toss lightly to mix. Re-cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add the parsley, toss lightly, and serve in soup plates with crusty chunks of bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large, deep skillet over medium high heat, cook sausage in the beer until evenly browned. Drain, and set aside.
• In a large baking dish, mix sausage, potatoes, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, sweet onion, red onion, jalapeno pepper, habanero pepper, red chile pepper, green onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chicken broth.
• Cover, and bake in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until all vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausages. Cook, turning often, for 5 minutes or until browned. Remove sausages to a board. Thickly slice.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil, onions and capsicum to pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until soft. Add rice, tomatoes, stock and sausages. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil.
• Cover pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Set aside, covered, for 15 minutes (this allows rice to complete cooking). Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hotpot into serving bowls. Serve.
• To reheat hotpot, spoon into serving bowls. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons chicken stock and cover with damp paper towel. Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) for 3 to 4 minutes.
