An easy and delicious blend of smoked sausage, apples, onions, and sauerkraut that everyone will love! This is great served with potatoes and cornbread. If you do not wish to use brandy, a good quality apple cider may be substituted for it in the gravy.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
2 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
½ large onion, sliced
1 (16 ounce) can sauerkraut, drained
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup apple brandy

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Set aside.
  • Make a layer of sliced apples in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with a bit of the cinnamon. Layer half of the onion, then half of the sauerkraut over the apples. Place all of the sausage slices over the sauerkraut, reserving the drippings in the pan. Cover the sausage with the remaining sauerkraut, onion, and top with apple slices. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon over the top.
  • Pour the heavy cream and brandy into the skillet with the sausage drippings. Place over medium heat, and stir to remove the bits of sausage flavor from the bottom. Pour over the sausage and apple casserole.
  • Cover, and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

SAUSAGE AND SMOKED SLAW PIZZETTE

Provided by Food Network

Time 2h22m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

Flour, for dusting
1 pound pizza dough
1/2 cup Red Onion Marmalade, recipe follows
8 ounces House Sausage, recipe follows
1/2 cup Smoked Slaw, recipe follows
Salt and pepper
3 large red onions
Salt
1/2 cup dark balsamic vinegar, divided
1/4 cup sugar
Splash water
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup grated onion
4 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, toasted and ground
1 teaspoon ground dried oregano
1 to 2 tablespoons crushed red chile flakes (depends on desired heat level)
1/3 cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, ground
1/2 head savoy cabbage
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup aioli*
1 shallot, grated
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F. Dust a work station with flour and cut the dough in half. When the dough is at room temperature, stretch it or roll it out using a rolling pin; you want a thin pizza dough, approximately 1/4-thick at the most. (A pizzette is a rustic oval shape though it will work in the more traditional circle.) Place the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet tray and bake in the oven until the dough has set and started to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread a thin layer of Red Onion Marmalade. Crumble the House Sausage over the pizza and spread out evenly. Place back into the oven and bake until the dough has hardened and you can lift one side of the pizza without it bending, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and drape with Smoked Slaw. Cut and enjoy.
  • Cut the top and bottom off the onion and peel the skin. Cut vertically straight down through the middle, exposing a crescent moon shape, not rings. Place the onion, cut side down, on the board and slice into julienne. Repeat with all the onions.
  • Place the onions into a saucepan and put over a low heat on your stovetop. Sprinkle with a little salt and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, allowing the onions to sweat out their liquid until they all become translucent (being careful not to caramelize or burn the onions), about 20 minutes. Add in half the balsamic and reduce over low heat until the liquid coats the back of a spoon, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve.
  • In a separate pan over high heat, pour the sugar into the center of the pan and surround with water. Stir the sugar into the water to moisten. Occasionally shake the pan to evenly disperse the heat. Keep a close eye on the sugar-water mixture as the moisture is expelled. First the bubbles will be smaller and more consistent, like syrup. Then the sugar will start to change color as it caramelizes. When it is a light amber color, remove from the heat and stir in the remaining balsamic vinegar until incorporated. Add the caramel sauce to the cooked onions and season with salt. Cool and serve.
  • Add all the ingredients except the pork into a large bowl. Whisk together and let rest for 10 minutes. Add in the ground pork. Break the pork apart gently and toss to distribute ingredients. Mix by kneading the mixture, but do not over mix. Cook a small piece of sausage to test for seasoning. If needed, add salt and a splash more vinegar. For pizza preparation, render the sausage until lightly browned and strain excess fat. Cool and reserve for assembly.
  • Remove the core from the cabbage and julienne. To assemble the smoker, place the wood chips into a half hotel pan over high heat. After 2 minutes, the chips will start to smolder. Place some ice into a perforated pan of the same size and cover with a layer of plastic wrap. Place the perforated pan with the ice and the cabbage onto the pan with the chips and cover with tin foil. Allow the smoke to permeate the cabbage for 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and place directly into a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Cool and reserve.

SMOKED CABBAGE SLAW WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH



Smoked Cabbage Slaw With Creamy Horseradish image

This slaw acquires its smoke flavor not through grilling the greens, but by cold smoking. The advantage is that you flavor the leaves with smoke without cooking them, so the cabbage remains audibly crisp. Cold smoking can be done on a grill or in a smoker, or even in your kitchen using a stove-top smoker or hand-held smoker. The secret is to smoke the shredded cabbage over a pan of ice to keep it from cooking. Horseradish and mustard fire up the traditional creamy mayonnaise dressing.

Categories     salads and dressings, slaws, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Honey Crisp or other firm apple
1 small head green cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds), quartered through the core
1 small white onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, trimmed and peeled
1/2 cup yellow raisins
Ice, for smoking
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set up your smoker following the manufacturer's instructions and heat to 225 degrees. Add applewood or hickory wood as specified by the manufacturer. If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect grilling, using half a chimney starter of coals instead of a full chimney. Add wood chips or chunks to the coals following the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Meanwhile, peel and core the apple, then cut the cabbage, onion, apple and carrots into thin shreds on a mandolin, in a food processor fitted with a shredding or slicing disk, or with a chef's knife. Stir the raisins into the slaw. Working in batches if necessary, divide the mixture among 2 disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum foil drip pans; spread in a loosely packed even layer. (Cabbage mixture should be no deeper than 1 inch.) Place each pan over another 9-by-13 aluminum pan of ice so the vegetables smoke without cooking.
  • Transfer pans to the smoker or grill, cover and smoke until lightly bronzed with smoke but still raw, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer smoked slaw mixture to a large bowl and repeat as necessary to smoke any remaining slaw.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seed in another large bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the smoked vegetable mixture into the dressing; season to taste with salt, sugar and vinegar. Serve right away, or refrigerate, covered, up to a few hours before serving.
