Sausage Pizza With Arugula And Grapes Recipes

ROASTED SAUSAGES AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes to rid them of excess fat.
• Melt the butter in a large heatproof roasting pan, add the grapes, and toss to coat. Over moderately high heat add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
• Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down in the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly. Roast in the oven, turning the sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over a medium-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and allow the vinegar and juices to reduce until they are thick and syrupy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter.
• Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes and serve immediately, accompanied with fresh bread.

SAUSAGE, ARUGULA, AND PARSLEY PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Remove sausage from casings. Saute over high heat until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.
• Brush a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 teaspoon oil. Press dough flat in the skillet, spreading to edge.
• Combine tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and red pepper. Spread over dough.
• Cook over medium-high heat until bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to oven; bake 3 minutes. Scatter mozzarella and sausage on top; continue baking until edge of crust is golden brown, about 8 minutes. Garnish with parsley, arugula, and Parmesan.

PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss onions, fennel, and 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Spread out into a single layer. Pinch sausage into small pieces and scatter around onions and fennel. Roast until vegetables and sausage are cooked through and well browned, 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
• Combine vegetables, sausage, and pasta in a large bowl. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, and 1/4 cup reserved pasta cooking liquid and toss to coat, adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until sauce comes together and coats pasta. Toss in arugula.
• Divide pasta among plates and top with Parmesan. Season with more salt and pepper.

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH GRAPES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large (13-by-18-inch) rimmed baking sheet, toss together onion slices, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper, and spread in an even layer. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes, until the onions turn translucent and the thinnest pieces take on a pale gold color at the edges.
• After 10 minutes, add grapes, seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan with onions, and toss well. Spread in an even layer and nestle sausage into the mixture.
• Roast until sausage has browned, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping sausage and tossing grapes and onions halfway through.
• Transfer sausages to a platter or to individual plates. Add parsley and chives to pan with grapes and onions and gently toss (this warms up and wilts the herbs). Use a slotted spoon to transfer grapes and onions to plates with the sausages.
• Add vinegar to rimmed baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits on the tray. Drizzle pan juices over the grapes and sausages, taste, and sprinkle more salt or vinegar on top, if desired.

SAUSAGE PIZZA WITH ARUGULA AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Put a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment on another inverted baking sheet and brush with 2 teaspoons olive oil. Stretch and lightly pat the pizza dough into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle on the parchment. Prick the dough with a fork everywhere but the edges. Brush with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Slide the dough (on the parchment) onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until lightly browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes.
• Season the ricotta with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the ricotta on top. Sprinkle with the thyme and top with the Cambozola, grapes and sausage. Slide back onto the hot stone or baking sheet and continue baking until the sausage is cooked through and the crust is golden, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and immediately scatter the shallot rings on top. Drizzle with the honey and top with the arugula.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND ARUGULA PIZZA

Steps:

• Cook onions in butter in large skillet on medium-high heat 15 to 20 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Add dressing; cook on medium heat 10 min. or until onions are caramelized, stirring occasionally. Stir in rosemary. Cool completely.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Press Perfect Parmesan Pizza Dough onto bottom of 17x11-1/2x3/4-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Let stand 10 minutes. Top with onions. Bake on bottom oven rack 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
• Top with cheese; bake 2 to 3 minutes or until melted. Top with arugula and pine nuts.

NY STYLE PIZZA WITH ARUGULA, SAUSAGE AND CHEESE #RAGU

Steps:

• 1. Make a starter: mix together 1/2 cup warm water, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, one teaspoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon yeast. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
• 2. Add 1/4 cup of water to the starter, rest of flour, salt and olive oil. Mix together thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Transfer on a well floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes dusting with flour as needed until dough is elastic and no longer sticky. Put the dough in a deep glass or plastic dish greased with olive oil. Cover and let the dough rise for about one hour until it doubles in volume.
• 3. Meanwhile, chop sausage into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium high heat for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Toast pine nuts and set aside.

• 5. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to 1/3 inch thickness, thinner in the middle and thicker on the outer edges. Flute the edges slightly. Drizzle the crust with olive oil, then spread the pasta sauce all around the crust, top with sausage, arugula leaves and two cheeses. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put pizza on a foil paper lightly greased with olive oil and dusted with breadcrumbs. Transfer on a hot baking stone. Bake for 2 minutes on broiler setting, turn the heat down to 500F and bake for 5-7 more minutes until crust becomes lightly charred and golden brown.
