Seasoned Sausages
Where You Can Have A Healthier Sausage
Ingredients:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges
1 bay leaf
8 precooked French Farmhouse Sausages
1 cup dry white wine
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
Directions:
Preheat broiler.
Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then cook onion and
apples with bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring once or twice, until golden brown,
about 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, split Farmhouse Sausage lengthwise (not all the way through) and open up. Lightly brush cut
sides of sausage with additional oil and transfer to a shallow baking pan (split sides up).
Add wine to apple mixture, then simmer, covered, until apples are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove lid and
briskly simmer until liquid is reduced by one third, about 2 minutes.
While apples simmer, broil sausage 4 to 5 inches from heat until browned, about 6 minutes.
Stir cream, vinegar, and brown sugar into apple mixture and briskly simmer until slightly thickened, about 2
minutes.
Discard bay leaf and serve apple compote over sausage
