Pork Sausages With Apples And Onions Food

SAUSAGES WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

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.

HOMEMADE PORK AND APPLE SAUSAGES

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.

BAKED SAUSAGES WITH APPLES SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees.
• In a large bowl combine the apple cubes, fingerling potatoes, baby carrots, onion, sage and rosemary. Drizzle the honey and olive oil over, season generously with salt and pepper then toss really well so that everything.
• Arrange the veggies and apples in a large shallow roasting pan. Arrange the sausages in and around the vegetables.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

PAN-GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

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.

GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND APPLES

• 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.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
• Porky deliciousness!

CRACKLE ROAST PORK WITH SAUSAGE-STUFFED APPLES & ONIONS

Steps:

• The day before, sit the pork on a wire rack over a dish and put in the fridge, uncovered, so the skin has time to dry out.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a roughly 3cm-wide 'core' from all the apples and onions. Coarsely grate as much apple flesh as you can from their 'cores' before you hit the seeds. Put the grated apple in a mixing bowl, snip the skins of the sausages and squeeze the meat out into the bowl too. Add the breadcrumbs, fennel seeds, mace and walnuts. Mix well with a little seasoning. Push some of the stuffing mixture into every onion and apple, packing it tightly and mounding the top as it will shrink a little during cooking (any extra stuffing can be rolled into the size of golf balls and roasted alongside).
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the pork with 1 tbsp of the oil and plenty of sea salt. Break up the onion cores and reserved skins to build a trivet in the middle of your largest roasting tin, then sit the pork joint on top. Roast for 1 hr, then lower the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and roast for another hour.
• Rub the outsides of the apples and onions with another 1 tbsp of oil, then sit just the onions around the pork, loosely covered with some foil. Roast for a further 35 mins, then add the apples to the tin too, removing the foil from the onions. Bake for a further 25 mins until all the stuffing is cooked through, and the onions and apples are tender but the apples are still holding their shape. Lift the pork, apples and onions onto a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. If the onions aren't soft enough for your liking, re-cover with foil and keep baking in the oven while you make the gravy.
• Pour any juices from the roasting tin into a jug. When the fat has separated, discard it and pour the meaty juices back into the tin. Put the tin on the hob and stir in the flour to a smooth paste. Cook, stirring, for 1 min, then gradually whisk in the cider, followed by the stock. Bring to the boil and bubble until the gravy has reduced a little and is of a good consistency. Sieve into another pan or gravy jug to get rid of all the onion bits and season well - if it needs sweetening, add some honey to taste.
• Thickly slice the rested pork at the table, making sure everyone gets a good portion of crunchy crackling, then share out the sausage-stuffed apples and onions. Add roasties, some green veg, and a generous glug of the cider gravy.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS AND APPLES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the shallots lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the shallots and apples on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.
• Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.
• Add the rosemary and mustard to the pan with the apples and shallots, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer. Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160 degrees and the shallots are tender and caramelized.
• Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs. Pour the vinegar over the apples and shallots, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
