Sausage Cooked In White Wine Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGE BAKED IN WINE

Steps:

• Prick the sausages in several places with a fork and place them in a dutch oven.
• Add the cloves of 1 head of garlic and enough cold water to cover the sausage completely.
• Cover and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer for 30- 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• When the sausages are cooked, drain off the water.
• Prick the sausages again to release any fat that remains.
• Rinse the sausages with hot water and cut into 1 inch pieces.
• Put the sausages, remaining garlic cloves and wine in the dutch oven.
• Cover loosely (allow the steam to escape) with foil.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and continue to bake, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are brown and crispy and have absorbed most of the wine (45 minutes- 1 1/4 hour).
• De-fat the juices.
• Serve in the remaining juices in a chafing dish or crockpot for a buffet, use in your favorite recipes, or freeze to use at a later date.

PASTA WITH WHITE SAUSAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
• Put the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. As it melts, crumble the sausage meat into it, making the bits quite small, 1/2 inch or less. Add the liquid, and adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers gently.
• Cook the pasta until it is tender but not at all mushy. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
• Drain the pasta, and dress with the sauce, adding a little of the reserved cooking liquid if necessary. Toss with salt, pepper and Parmesan, and serve.

SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, ONIONS, AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the sausage until browned. Transfer the cooked sausage to a large baking dish.
• Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into the skillet, and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Place the potatoes into the baking dish, leaving some oil in the skillet.
• Cook and stir the green and red peppers and onions in the hot skillet until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the baking dish.
• Pour wine and chicken stock over the vegetables and sausage, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables together.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.
