Sausages With Olives And White Wine Recipes

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.

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.

SAUSAGES WITH OLIVES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• 1 Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. 2 Add the olives, garlic, and wine. Lower the heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced and the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
