Slow Cooker Chicken Sausage With Cabbage Apples Recipes

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN SAUSAGE WITH CABBAGE & APPLES

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage, apples, salt, paprika, pepper, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH until the vegetables are tender, 5 to 6 hours.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage, and cook, turning to brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; add 3 tablespoons of the vinegar. Return to the heat, and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 30 seconds. Add the stock to the skillet; bring to a boil, scraping to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Spoon over the vegetable mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH until the flavors come together, about 1 hour. Garnish with the fresh parsley leaves, if desired, and serve with a splash of apple cider vinegar.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE WITH APPLES, SAGE AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Sear the sausages in the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the internal temperature is 150 degrees F, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside. Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add more oil if the pan is dry. Add the onions and salt to taste and cook the onions until translucent and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the skillet with the vinegar, scraping the bottom to get all the brown bits (fond), which equals flavor. Add the cabbage and apples and stir to combine. Let it cook down a bit, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and sugar and cook until the cabbage and apples start to soften, another 5 minutes. Return the sausages and any juices that have collected to the skillet. Cover and cook to heat through. Sprinkle in some sage and cook until the internal temperature of the sausages is 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with additional sage. Adjust the salt if needed, then serve with crusty bread.
