Braised Sausage Recipes

BRAISED CHICKEN SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a large high sided saute pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high and cook until stock has evaporated and a glaze has formed over all. With tongs toss sausages with onions and serve.

BRAISED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Prick the sausages. De-rind and chop the bacon. Peel and thickly slice the onion or peel the shallots and leave whole. Wash the mushrooms and slice if large.
• Heat the oil in a casserole or thick saucepan, over a moderate heat, and lightly brown the sausages. Remove them from the pan.
• Add the bacon and onion, and fry for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and gradually add the wine, beer, cider or stock, stirring as the sauce thickens.
• Return the sausages to the pan. Add the mushrooms, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Reheat, then put on the lid, lower the heat and leave to simmer gently for 35-45 minutes, removing the lid for the last 15 minutes of cooking time. Add a little more liquid if it gets too dry.

BRAISED SAUSAGE AND BEANS

• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, frozen carrots and sausage; cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion and carrots are tender and sausage is no longer pink.
• Stir in beans, chicken broth and thyme. Heat to boiling. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low, and cook about 5 minutes or until hot.

• Meanwhile, mix beef broth and vinegar until blended.
• Pour broth mixture over sausage links; bring to boil. Cover; simmer on medium-low heat 15 to 20 min. or until sausage links are done and evenly glazed with thickened broth mixture, turning occasionally.

BRAISED SAUSAGE WITH OLIVES AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the sausage in batches, transferring it as it is browned to paper towels to drain, and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. In the fat remaining in the kettle cook the onion and the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion is golden, stir in the tomatoes with the juice, breaking up the tomatoes, and the sausage, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces, and the olives, simmer the mixture, covered partially, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, and season it with salt and pepper.
