Spring Sausage Toss Recipes

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, toss bread crumbs with oil; cook and stir over medium heat until toasted. Remove from pan., Add sausage to same pan; cook and stir over medium heat until no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 30-60 seconds longer. Stir in tomatoes and olives; heat through. Add spaghetti and toss to combine. Sprinkle with toasted bread crumbs before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine spring onions, potatoes, sauerkraut, garlic and 1/4 cup oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes.
• Arrange sausages on top and roast until spring onions and potatoes are tender and sausages are heated through, about 30 minutes longer.
• While the sausages roast, in a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons parsley, if using, with the mustard, shallot and lemon juice, plus the remaining 1/4 cup oil and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
• Divide sausages and vegetables among plates. Sprinkle with additional parsley, if using, and drizzle with mustard relish to taste.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 mins, adding the cabbage for the final few mins of cooking. Drain, then allow to steam- dry for a few mins. Add the milk and butter to the pan, warm through, then mash into the potatoes and cabbage with plenty of seasoning. Stir in the mustard, if using.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large, shallow flameproof dish or a large non-stick frying pan. Brown the sausages, shallots and carrots for about 5 mins until nicely golden and the shallots are starting to soften. The sausages should be almost cooked through; lift them out, then set aside. Tip off any excess fat released by the sausages.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Turn up the heat under the pan, tip in the thyme and mushrooms, then fry until golden, about 3 mins. Splash in the wine, then let it bubble and reduce by half. Add the stock and caramelised onions, then simmer until it has reduced a little to make a shiny gravy, and the carrots are cooked through. Season, then add the sausages to the gravy.
• Spoon the mixture into a baking dish or keep in the pan if it's ovenproof. Top with the mashed potato, spooning it over in even dollops to prevent the gravy oozing up the sides. Can be made up to 1 day ahead and chilled. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 mins (or 45 mins from chilled), removing the foil for the final 10 mins to brown the mash. Sprinkle with a little thyme to serve.
