Number Of Ingredients 11

1 kg pork belly
1 large onion
1 large cooking apple
2 teaspoons marjoram
2 teaspoons dried sage
2 teaspoons dried herbs
grated nutmeg (about an eigth of a nut)
ground black pepper
ground sea salt
100 g white breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • First make the breadcrumbs in a food processor, so they are fine.

  • Various adaptations can be made, by adding either sun-dried tomato puree, or garlic puree for instance.
  • Prior to cooking, pierce the skins to prevent bursting.

BRAISED WURST SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE, RED ONION, & APPLE SLAW



Braised Wurst Sausages with Cabbage, Red Onion, & Apple Slaw image

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 links good-quality bratwurst, bockwurst, weisswurst, or knackwurst sausages
A drizzle plus 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
1 cup white wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar (eyeball it)
8 peppercorns
2 to 3 whole cloves
2 fresh bay leaves
1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
1 small head of red cabbage or 1/2 medium head, cored and thinly shredded, 1 pound
1 medium red onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1 green apple, quartered, cored, and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon caraway seed or cumin seed (optional)
Salt and pepper
4 slices pumpernickel bread
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs such as chives, dill, or flat-leaf parsley
1 cup good-quality spicy mustard
Fresh radishes, trimmed and lightly salted
Cornichons or baby gherkin pickles

Steps:

  • Place the sausages in a skillet and add 1/2 inch of water and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the liquid to evaporate, cooking the sausages through. Once the liquid evaporates, the oil will help brown and crisp up the casings.
  • Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and sea salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce for 5 to 6 minutes over medium-low heat.
  • While the brine reduces, combine the cabbage, red onions, and apples in a bowl. Sprinkle with caraway or cumin seed if you like the flavor.
  • Pour the hot reduced brine through a strainer over the cabbage mix in a slow stream. Evenly distribute it, then pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine, and adjust the seasoning.
  • Toast the bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the herbs. Spread the mixture on the warm toast.
  • Serve the sausages with the toast, slaw salad, mustard, radishes, and pickles.

WRAPPED CHICKEN AND APPLE SAUSAGES WITH SWEET MUSTARD



Wrapped Chicken and Apple Sausages With Sweet Mustard image

These are so good! My sister loves these and the sauce even though she doesn't like mustard. We sometimes refer to these as Fancy Pigs in Blankets. You can slice these after baking and serve them as an appetizer, or you can serve them the way they are out of the oven for a snack, or serve with baked beans and a salad for dinner.

Provided by Busy Lindsay

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 chicken-apple sausages (I use Aidel's)
1 (8 ounce) can crescent rolls
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup red currant jelly
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • In a medium sized bowl add red currant jelly; stir jelly until smooth consistency (not lumpy). Add Dijon Mustard to jelly and stir until smooth and well blended. This is the Sweet Mustard Dipping sauce, refridgerate until ready to serve with the sausages.
  • Cut each sausage link in half lengthwise. In medium non-stick skillet, cook sausages over medium high heat until lightly brown on each side. Browning the sausage isn't absolutely necessary but it helps cut down some of the greasiness after baking in so the crescent rolls don't slide off.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Open tube of crescent rolls and separate each roll (into triangles).
  • Place a browned 1/2 sausage link on each triangle and roll up; so the crescent roll is wrapped around the 1/2 sausage link. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the sausages and crescent rolls. Top the crescent rolls and sausages with sesame seeds.
  • Bake sausages wrapped in crescent rolls at 350°F for 17 minutes or until the crescent roll is golden brown.
  • Serve with sweet mustard dipping sauce.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN AND APPLE SMOKED SAUSAGES



Homemade Chicken and Apple Smoked Sausages image

Making your own homemade sausage is easier than you think! I actually prefer skinless sausages - I don't care much for the texture of the casing when I'm eating it. I chose corn husks - they make for a pretty presentation. You can use aluminum foil until they are almost done, then unwrap and continue to cook on the smoker to...

Provided by Tammy Brownlow

Categories     Fruit Appetizers

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breast
1/2 c finely grated apple with juice, i chose cameo
2 Tbsp finely grated onion with juice, i chose a white onion
2 large large cloves grated garlic with juice - i used a microplane for the this task
1/4 tsp finely minced fresh rosemary
1/8 tsp ground sage
1/4 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper, i used about 3/4 tsp - i like peppery sausage
4 Tbsp butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. When I make these, I'm usually smoking other meats. These don't take very long compared to say a brisket. One or two links usually end up being lunch while we wait for whatever we are smoking for dinner.
  • 2. In a large bowl soak 15 pieces of corn husk in warm water. If using aluminum foil - tear off 4 pieces.
  • 3. In a large bowl finely grate your apple, and onion. I use a cheese grater. Grate your garlic cloves. I use a microplane.
  • 4. In your food processor, add chicken breast, cut into pieces and pulse until fine.
  • 5. Add onion mixture, spices and butter.
  • 6. Pulse until well combined.
  • 7. Refrigerate for about an hour.
  • 8. Tear strips of corn husk off to use to tie the ends of the sausages off. I generally tear 3 per sausage.
  • 9. Remove sausage meat from fridge. Place 1/4 of mixture on corn husk (or foil as shown). Shape into a "log".
  • 10. Wrap husk around sausage and tie ends as shown. Sometimes I tuck ends under if I'm serving them in the husk.
  • 11. Put on smoker and cook for 30 minutes.
  • 12. Flip and cook another 30 minutes.
  • 13. At this point you can remove sausage and add more smoke flavor if you wish by placing directly on grill.
  • 14. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. These are wonderful sliced and sauteed in olive oil - it adds a nice crispy texture around the edges. Enjoy!

Whether you prefer a sweet or savory flavor, apple sausages are easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. In this article, we will give you valuable tips for making apple sausages recipes that are sure to impress your family and friends.

Tips for Making Apple Sausages:

1. Choose the Right Apples
When making apple sausages, it is essential to choose the right type of apples. Not all apples are created equal, and some varieties are better suited for sausages than others. Tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn work well in savory apple sausage recipes as they hold their shape and provide a tangy flavor. Sweet apples like Honeycrisp or Gala are perfect for sweet apple sausages and give a delicious juicy sweetness.
2. Use the Right Type of Meat
When making apple sausages, it is important to choose the right type of meat. Ground pork is the traditional choice for sausage making, but you can also use ground chicken or turkey for a leaner option. The meat should be well trimmed and free from any gristle or bone. Using high-quality meat ensures that your sausages have a better texture and taste.
3. Season the Meat Well
To make delicious apple sausages, you need to season the meat well. A good mix of spices and herbs can elevate the flavor of the sausages and make them more complex. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika are common seasonings for apple sausages. You can also experiment with other spices like cumin, coriander, or cinnamon, depending on your taste preferences.
4. Add in Grated Apples
Grated apples are a must-have ingredient when making apple sausages. They add texture and moisture to the sausages and give a distinctive apple flavor. Grate the apples using the coarse side of a box grater, and make sure to squeeze out any excess liquid from the grated apples before adding them to the meat. This prevents the sausages from becoming too wet and falling apart during cooking.
5. Use Natural Casings
Natural casings are the traditional choice for sausage making and are the best type of casings for apple sausages. Natural casings, made from animal intestines, give a natural, organic texture to the sausages and are easy to work with. They also give a satisfying snap when you bite into the sausages, which is a desirable quality in a sausage.
6. Cook the Sausages Slowly
When cooking apple sausages, it is essential to cook them slowly over low heat. Cooking them too quickly or over high heat can cause them to burst and lose their flavor. You can grill, bake or pan-fry apple sausages, but be sure to cook them slowly and turn them frequently for even cooking.
7. Serve with Appropriate Accompaniments
When serving apple sausages, it is essential to choose the right accompaniments to complement their flavor. Savory apple sausages pair well with roasted vegetables, potatoes, and gravy, while sweet apple sausages are perfect for breakfast and can be served with pancakes or waffles. You can also use apple sausages as a filling for sandwiches or wraps and top them with a variety of sauces and toppings.
8. Store and Freeze the Sausages
Apple sausages can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze the sausages, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and label with the date. Allow the sausages to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.

Conclusion

Apple sausages are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional pork sausages. Using the right type of apples, meat, and seasonings can elevate the flavor of your sausages and make them more complex. Grated apples, natural casings, and slow cooking are key factors to making delicious apple sausages. When serving apple sausages, choose appropriate accompaniments that complement their flavor. Lastly, store and freeze apple sausages properly to enjoy them later.
