Best Pork Sausage With Braised Purple Cabbage And Apple Chutney Recipes

HOMEMADE PORK AND APPLE SAUSAGES

Steps:

• First make the breadcrumbs in a food processor, so they are fine.
• Mince (or grind) the pork, then add the onion to the grinder, and finally the apple (peeled and cored). Add all the herbs and nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
• Fill your sausage filler (either machine or hand operated one) and put the skins over the end of the nozzle.
• Fill slowly so that the skins do not burst, and twist the finished sausages into the required size.
• Since nothing has been pre-frozen, these will freeze well.
• 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.

PORK SAUSAGE WITH BRAISED PURPLE CABBAGE AND APPLE CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make the pork sausage:
• At least 30 minutes before grinding the meat, chill all of your tools, including the bowl of the stand mixer, in the freezer.
• In a large bowl combine the pork butt, bacon, fatback, brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika, coriander, garlic and onion powders, and Worcestershire sauce and stir well to combine.
• Using your meat grinder, grind the meat mixture through the medium die into the chilled bowl of the stand mixer. Cover the meat mixture and refrigerate until ready to use. Stuff the meat mixture into the sausage casings, and for best results, chill in the refrigerator overnight.
• Make the purple cabbage:
• In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil. Add the red onion and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the cabbage, vinegar, and chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Make the apple chutney:
• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the apples, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, and water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is jammy and slightly reduced. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Cook the sausage:
• Using a toothpick, prick each sausage a few times. In a heavy, large skillet over moderate heat, warm the olive oil and butter until hot but not smoking. Add the sausage and cook, turning over a couple times, until golden brown on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer the sausage to a cutting board and cut into smaller pieces for serving.
• To serve:
• Divide the cabbage among 4 plates then top with sausage and apple chutney.
