Chicken Apple Sausage With Apples Onions Recipes

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.

GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND APPLES

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.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE WITH APPLES, SAGE AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Sear the sausages in the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the internal temperature is 150 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add more oil if the pan is dry. Add the onions and salt to taste and cook the onions until translucent and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the skillet with the vinegar, scraping the bottom to get all the brown bits (fond), which equals flavor. Add the cabbage and apples and stir to combine. Let it cook down a bit, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and sugar and cook until the cabbage and apples start to soften, another 5 minutes. Return the sausages and any juices that have collected to the skillet. Cover and cook to heat through. Sprinkle in some sage and cook until the internal temperature of the sausages is 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with additional sage. Adjust the salt if needed, then serve with crusty bread.

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.

CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Combine butter and olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add sausages and cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir onion, pinch of salt, and pinch of pepper in with the sausages. Cook and stir until onions are slightly translucent and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Stir garlic into sausage mixture; cook and stir for 30 seconds.
• Pour apple cider into sausage mixture; increase heat to medium-high and stir in potatoes. Bring to a simmer.
• Pour cabbage over top of sausage mixture and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove sausages and potatoes from the Dutch oven and set aside.
• Increase heat to high, simmer liquid until thick and reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Return potatoes and sausages to the Dutch oven and remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with mustard and parsley.
