CHICKEN SAUSAGE WITH APPLES, SAGE AND CABBAGE

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 raw chicken sausages (about 1 pound), any flavor
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
1 medium yellow onion, sliced 1/4-inch-thick
Sea salt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, or to taste
1/2 head red cabbage, sliced 1/4-inch-thick
3 medium Granny Smith or any tart apples, cut into 1/2-inch-dice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh sage, sliced thin, reserving some for garnish
Crusty bread, toasted, for serving

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.

PENNE, PEPPERS, AND CHICKEN-APPLE SAUSAGE SAUTE



Penne, Peppers, and Chicken-Apple Sausage Saute image

This recipe originated with my son, who makes it with very spicy chicken sausages. I loved it so much that I adapted it to suit our taste. Because my husband prefers less spicy food, I use milder chicken-apple sausage. This is one of our favorite dinners.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless chicken legs
2 cortland apples, peeled, seeded and sliced
4 shallots, minced
1/2 cup calvados
1/2 cup 15% cream
1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, brown the bacon in oil. Drain on absorbing paper. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, brown the chicken on each side. Add oil if needed. Add salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, brown the apples and shallots at high heat. Add salt and pepper. Deglaze with calvados. Let reduce 1 minute. Add chicken, cream and sage. Bring to boil. Cover and let simmer slowly about 1 hour at low heat, stirring frequently. Adjust seasoning. Serve on pasta and sprinkle with bacon.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. Different apples will provide different flavors and textures to your sausage, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin of the apples adds flavor and texture to the sausage, so there's no need to peel them.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to your sausage, so don't skimp on them. Some good choices include thyme, sage, rosemary, and marjoram.
  • Don't overmix the sausage. Overmixing the sausage will make it tough, so be careful not to do it too much.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly. Sausage should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it is safe to eat.

Conclusion:

Chicken apple and calvados sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and apples, and it can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack.
