Sausages Braised In White Wine Recipes

SAUSAGES BRAISED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Butter a heavy, heatproof dish.
• Place the sausages in the pan with the oil and set over a medium heat.
• Brown them on all sides very lightly.
• Scatter over the shallots and cook for a minute or so, then add all the other ingredients except the parsley.
• Cover and simmer for 15 minutes till the sausages are tight and tender.
• Check from time to time that the liquid has not completely evaporated- there should be just enough left to make a bit of a sauce with.
• Lift out the sausages, drop in a large knob of cold butter and stir in till the sauce thickens.
• Scatter parsley and serve hot.

SAUSAGE COOKED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Brown the sausage slowly in skillet, pricking skins first to prevent burning. Remove and drain on paper towels; discard the fat in the pan.
• Melt the butter in the same pan; add the chives and the flour.
• Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, add thyme, bay leaf, marjoram, and wine, stirring to blend well. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Return the sausage to the skillet and heat in sauce until sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, omelet, or popovers.

BAKED WHITE BEANS AND SAUSAGE WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, prick the sausages all over with a fork. Add the garlic, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat. Bake until the sausages start to brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Put on your oven mitts, take the roasting pan out of the oven and set it on a heatproof surface. Using tongs, carefully turn the sausages over. (The sausages will brown on the other side when they go back into the oven.)
• Tear the sage leaves into little pieces and add them to the sausages along with the drained beans and apple juice. Give the bean mixture a stir.
• Wearing your oven mitts, put the roasting pan back in the oven and bake until the bean mixture is warmed, about 20 minutes.
• Put on your oven mitts one last time to remove the roasting pan from the oven. To serve, carefully stir everything together using a wooden spoon, and add a little salt and pepper to taste.
