Sausages With Tangy Gingery Pineapple Food

SAUSAGES WITH TANGY, GINGERY PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees and, if you like, line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, toss together pineapple, sugar, oil, ginger, lime zest, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, allspice and cayenne until well combined. Stir in three-quarters of the onions. (Reserve remaining onions for serving.)
• Spread pineapple mixture onto the sheet pan in one layer. Nestle sausages among the pineapple mixture. Roast until fruit is caramelized and sausages are browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Halfway through baking, flip the sausages and toss the pineapple mixture.
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, ginger and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Taste and season with more salt and lime juice if you'd like.
• Pull the pan out of the oven, drizzle vinaigrette over sausages and pineapple, and toss gently to combine. Garnish with reserved onion and cilantro, and serve.

HOT FRUIT AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook sausage according to package directions; drain. Add pineapple, brown sugar and cinnamon; heat through. Stir in banana just before serving.

PINEAPPLE & SAUSAGE FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Use a small sharp knife to cut around the edge of each pineapple half, then scoop the pineapple flesh from the halves. Discard the core and chop the fruit into small pieces. You will have about 1 1/2 cups fruit. Set aside and place pineapple halves on a plate or platter.
• In a small bowl, whisk to combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the peas, carrots and red bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook 1 more minute, then transfer to a medium bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Place skillet back over medium high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and saute the sliced sausage until slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the vegetables with a slotted spoon.
• Return the skillet to medium high heat, add the rice and flatten in an even layer. Cook undisturbed to allow the bottom to crisp slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the cooked sausage and vegetables, 3/4 cup chopped pineapple and season with salt and pepper. Cook 1-2 minutes then stir in the sauce to combine.
• Push the rice to the sides and make a well in the center. Add about 1/2 tablespoon oil to the well and pour in the eggs. Scramble the eggs then stir to combine with ingredients in the pan.
• Spoon rice mixture into Pineapple halves and garnish with remaining chopped pineapple and sliced scallion greens.

HAWAIIAN SAUSAGE SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, onion, and green bell pepper until vegetables start to become tender, about 8 minutes; add pineapple and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is hot, about 5 minutes more.
• Beat pineapple juice and cornstarch together in a bowl using a whisk. Stir brown sugar, cider vinegar, soy sauce, and minced garlic with the pineapple juice until the sugar dissolves into the liquid; pour over the sausage mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. In a shallow baking dish or baking sheet, toss the sausages with the peppers, tomatoes, garlic, shallots and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.
• Broil until the sausage is cooked through and the peppers and tomatoes are nicely charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Rotate the pan and ingredients as needed so everything gets under the broiler. If everything is charring too quickly, cover the pan with foil. Serve immediately.
