BREAKFAST POPOVERS WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter the muffin cups.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the sausage and break it into 1/4-to-1/2-inch pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook until brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons sausage into each muffin cup. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the sausage.
• Blend the eggs in a blender until frothy, about 15 seconds. Add the milk, flour, green onions, basil, salt and pepper. Blend until just incorporated. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling each cup to just below the rim. Bake, without opening the oven door, until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes.
• Place the popovers on a platter and drizzle with maple syrup.

GREEN CHILE CHICKEN SAUSAGE - CULINARY COMMUNION

Steps:

• Process: toss the cubed chicken and fatback with the combined seasonings. Chill well. Grind through the fine plate (1/8-inch) of a meat grinder into a mixing bowl over and ice bath.
• Combine: mix on low speed for 1 minute, gradually adding poblano chiles, jalapenos, and ice water. Mix on medium speed for 15-20 seconds, or until the sausage mixture is sticky to the touch.
• Test: panfry a test patty. Adjust seasons and consistency before filling the prepared casing and shaping into 4-inch links.
• Cooking: the sausages are now ready to prepare for eating by pan frying, baking, grilling, or broiling to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F, or hold under refrigeration for up to 7 days. (We usually vacuum pack and freeze ours.).
• Notes: we reduced the amount of sweet paprika a bit and added in sweet smoked Spanish paprika, which is a favorite spice of mine. :) We have also substituted Anaheim peppers for the poblanos when we couldn't get poblanos, and have omitted the jalapenos at times, as well. It all depends on who we're making the sausages for and their individual tastes.
