200g smoked bacon lardons
50g butter
2 medium onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 small parsnips (about 350g), chopped
3 large celery sticks, chopped
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp plain flour
300ml medium or dry cider
300ml fresh chicken stock
8-10 fresh sage leaves, chopped, plus a few leaves fried in a little oil until crisp (optional)
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 small eating apples, such as cox
A squeeze of lemon to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole (with a lid). Add the sausages and brown them all over, then transfer to a plate.

  • Remove the casserole from the oven, stir in the apples and season to taste (add a squeeze of lemon if you think it needs it). Sprinkle with the fried sage leaves, if using. Serve with baked potatoes or mash and greens.

SCRUMPY SAUSAGE CASSEROLE



Scrumpy Sausage Casserole image

Perfect comfort food. We went to somerset for a week's holiday. I picked up some local scrumpy cider and good quality sausage and this idea came to mind. It's great served with crusty bread and butter. Make sure you get good quality pork sausage, at least 70% pork content. Pork and apple sausages, pork and onion are also good. I've said that this recipe will serve 2, but I would imagine it would easily serve 4 if you upped the quantity of veg a little, and had some bread. We are just greedy!

Steps:

  • Lightly fry the sausages in some oil, we only want to colour them, they don't need to be cooked through
  • In the same pan, add the onion and cook for a 5 minutes on a low heat to soften (not brown), then add the leek, followed by the carrots. Mix well and simmer for a few more minutes. Add a splash of water if the pan is becoming too dry.
  • Add the flour to the pan and make sure the vegetables are all coated, cook for 30 seconds more.
  • Add the apple, then the cider, wait until it bubbles for a few seconds then add the chicken stock. Stir well. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook on a very low heat for around an hour.
  • After an hour, check the casserole. Season with salt and pepper to taste. It should be slightly thick, but not too thick. If you'd like the casserole a bit thicker, let it simmer with the top off until you have the desired consistency.
  • Serve with crusty bread and butter. Lovely!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, look for a high-quality sausage that is made with fresh, ground pork and seasoned with aromatic spices like sage, thyme, and garlic.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples offer different flavors and textures, so using a mix will add depth to your dish. Try using a combination of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overcook the sausage: Sausage is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it over medium heat until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan: After cooking the sausage, deglaze the pan with apple cider to loosen any browned bits and add extra flavor to the sauce.
  • Use a good quality apple cider: The apple cider you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a fresh, unfiltered apple cider that is made from 100% apples.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Apple cider sausage goes well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

With its savory sausage, sweet and tangy apple cider sauce, and warm, comforting spices, apple cider sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a fall meal. Whether you serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful meal, give apple cider sausage a try.
