SAUSAGE AND APPLES, NORMANDY-STYLE



Sausage and Apples, Normandy-Style image

Calvados is the famous apple brandy from Normandy. A well-stocked liquor store will generally have it on hand, but you can substitute applejack brandy (or even a good fresh apple cider.) "I can buy boudin blanc in many places in New York," Joseph says, "but depending on where you live, it may not be so easy for you. If I had to substitute, I suppose I would use bockwurst, which is a similarly, delicately flavored German veal sausage. Potatoes mashed with butter and cream is what we always eat with this."

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 or 4 links (about 1 pound) fresh French white sausage (boudin blanc) or bockwurst, cut into 3/4-inch slices
4 small Granny Smith or other firm, tart apples, about 1 1/2 pounds, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch crosswise slices
Ground cinnamon
1/4 cup Calvados, applejack or good apple cider
1/4 cup heavy cream
Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large cold skillet, arrange the sausage slices in 1 layer. Set over medium-high heat, and cook, turning the slices once or twice until they are crisp and nicely browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a 2-quart casserole, arrange a layer of about 1/4 of the sausage slices. Cover the sausage with a layer of about 1/4 of the apple slices. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Continue in this manner to make 4 layers, ending with the apple slices.
  • Stir the Calvados into the skillet in which the sausage was browned, scraping up any crusty, brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cream until well blended, Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
  • Cover, and bake for 1 hour until the apples have cooked down and the mixture is bubbling. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

SAUSAGE AND APPLE STUFFED PORK ROAST



Sausage and Apple Stuffed Pork Roast image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound mild Italian sausage (or 2 links, casings removed)
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 tart apple, peeled and diced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 pieces white bread
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons butter
One 3-pound boneless pork loin
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the sausage until no longer pink. Remove the sausage (leave in the fat), and set aside. To the pan, add the onion, celery, and apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the apple is no longer crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, stir the sausage back in and set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme into coarse crumbs.
  • Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the crumbs over medium-high heat until coated with butter and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn). Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.
  • Prepare the roast as if making a jellyroll. Place the roast with the short side toward you, and fat facing down toward the counter or cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open at about 1/2-inch from the bottom of the roast (parallel to the cutting board), being careful not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting, unrolling the roast as you work until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place the rolled out piece of meat between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper, and lightly pound with meat mallet to increase the meat surface area by 10 to 20 percent. Be careful not to pound through the meat. Salt and pepper the pork and top with the filling, spreading evenly across the pork, leaving a 1-inch margin around the perimeter.
  • Starting with the short side, roll up tightly jellyroll style, and secure the roast with kitchen twine.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add the wine in the bottom of the pan (to keep the juices from burning), and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

SAGE, SAUSAGE AND APPLE DRESSING



Sage, Sausage and Apple Dressing image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 16-ounce bag stuffing cubes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan and topping
1 pound fresh sage sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cooking apples, such as Gravenstein, Rome, or Golden Delicious, peeled, cored, and chopped
1 to 2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
Kosher salt
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup walnut pieces, toasted (see Cook's Note)
2 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Put the stuffing cubes in a large bowl and set aside. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it loses most of its pink color, but not so much that it's dry, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and pan drippings to the stuffing cubes. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Add the onion, apple, celery, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the vegetables get soft, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and parsley and bring to a boil.
  • Pour the vegetable mixture over the stuffing cubes and toss until evenly moistened. Mix in the walnuts and eggs. Loosely pack the dressing in the prepared pan and cook uncovered until the top forms a crust, about 40 minutes. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of turkey pan drippings or melted butter over the top. Cook until the top is crisp and golden, about 20 minutes more.

Here are some tips and tricks to make the best Sausage and Sage Apple Stuffed Apples:

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape well when cooked. Acidic apples will also help cut through the richness of the sausage.
  • Core the apples carefully. Use a sharp knife to core the apples, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom. Otherwise you can leave the core in, but be sure to remove the seeds.
  • Don't overstuff the apples. The apples will expand as they cook, so don't pack the stuffing in too tightly.
  • Use a flavorful sausage. A good quality sausage will make a big difference in the flavor of this dish. Look for a sausage that is seasoned with sage, thyme, or other herbs.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender. The apples should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Depending on the size of the apples, this will take about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Sausage and Sage Apple Stuffed Apples are a delicious and versatile dish. They are great as an appetizer or a main course. They can be served with a variety of sides and are perfect for any occasion.
