Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds parsley-and-cheese pork sausage
4 small red onions (1 1/4 pounds), peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds

Add 1/2 cup water, and scrape brown bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes, adding a second 1/2 cup water if pan becomes dry. Remove lid, and stir in thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Remove sausage from oven, and serve.

I've long had this recipe among my standbys, and, like all cooks who improvise and experiment, I've changed it as our tastes have changed. Having my recipe judged "grand prize winner" is exciting...and I sure have to smile when I think what my children will say to me.

SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Sausage With Peppers and Onions image

For an easy, hearty dinner (or breakfast or lunch) buy fresh Italian pork fennel sausages, preferably from an Italian deli or butcher. Pair them with quickly stewed peppers and onions, splashed with vinegar, and fried eggs.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 Italian pork fennel sausages, sweet or hot (about 2 pounds)
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 medium bell peppers, a mix of red and yellow, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium red onions, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Pinch of dried oregano
Basil leaves, for garnish
4 large eggs (optional)

Steps:

  • Prick each sausage in several places with a skewer or the tip of paring knife to prevent bursting. Put sausages in one layer in a skillet. Add water to cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then cover, turn off heat and let steep.
  • Place a wide skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add sliced peppers and onions.

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH GRAPES AND ONIONS



Roasted Sausages With Grapes and Onions image

You can use any kind of sausages in this cozy, autumnal dish, filled with roasted sweet grapes and vinegar-spiked onions. Spicy Italian sausages made from pork, chicken or turkey, fresh chorizo or merguez, will give the dish a kick, while milder sausages like chicken and apple, bratwurst or Weisswurst make for a gentler meal. Serve this on a bed of polenta or mashed potatoes, or with some crusty bread to sop up the vinegary, sausage-rich pan juices, and a green salad on the side. If you want to halve this recipe, reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees; otherwise the smaller amount of food in the pan might get too brown.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups seedless red grapes (1 1/4 pounds), destemmed
1 teaspoon fennel, coriander, cumin or caraway seeds, lightly crushed
1 pound any sausages, poked all over with a fork
1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons rice vinegar or sherry vinegar, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large (13-by-18-inch) rimmed baking sheet, toss together onion slices, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper, and spread in an even layer. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes, until the onions turn translucent and the thinnest pieces take on a pale gold color at the edges.
  • After 10 minutes, add grapes, seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan with onions, and toss well. Spread in an even layer and nestle sausage into the mixture.
  • Roast until sausage has browned, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping sausage and tossing grapes and onions halfway through.
  • Transfer sausages to a platter or to individual plates. Add parsley and chives to pan with grapes and onions and gently toss (this warms up and wilts the herbs). Use a slotted spoon to transfer grapes and onions to plates with the sausages.
  • Add vinegar to rimmed baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits on the tray. Drizzle pan juices over the grapes and sausages, taste, and sprinkle more salt or vinegar on top, if desired.

SAUSAGE STUFFED ONION



Sausage Stuffed Onion image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium to large red onions
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 cup white wine
1 pound sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon thyme leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil.
  • Peel the onions and cut them in half along the equator. Cut the bottoms slightly so that the onions can sit cut-side up steadily. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop the centers out of the onions, leaving about 1/4-inch (or 1 layer of onion) as the shell and reserving the scooped flesh. (The onions should look like little bowls.) Place the hollowed-out onions in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over them and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Roast the onions until they are soft and brown on the tops, about 30 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle. (Leave the oven on.)
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the reserved onion flesh. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to brown, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, or more if desired. Reduce the heat to medium and let the onions cook until they are very soft and brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup wine into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits. Let the wine cook out, then transfer the onions to a large bowl to cool slightly.
  • Add and combine the sausage with the caramelized onions. Mix in the panko, thyme, garlic, half the Parmesan, half the parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop or measuring cup to add a heaping half cup of the sausage mixture to each roasted onion. They should be mounded; press everything in to keep it together. Pour the stock and remaining 1/2 cup wine into the bottom of the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the onions from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan on the tops of the onions, then bake until the cheese is melted and browning and the sausage is browned, another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, then sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve warm.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED RED ONIONS



Sausage-Stuffed Red Onions image

The onions in this dish aren't just for show; the long roasting time brings out their sweetness and makes them delicious in their own right, and they add just the right savory note to the stuffing inside.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 small-to-medium red onions
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage
1/3 cup grated tart green apple, such as Granny Smith
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese (3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice off tops and bottoms of onions, leaving at least a 2-inch diameter exposed at the top. Scoop out the inside of each onion (about halfway down) using a melon baller or a spoon. Season insides with salt. Transfer onions to a baking dish, and cover with parchment, then foil. Bake until just starting to soften, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet, and cook, stirring, until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add apple and fennel seeds, and cook until sausage is no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain sausage mixture, reserving juices in a medium bowl. Finely chop sausage mixture, and add to bowl. Stir in breadcrumbs, parsley, sage, and 1/4 cup Gruyere. Let cool.
  • Fill onions with stuffing (about 3 tablespoons each), then top with remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere. Bake until tops are crisp and brown, about 20 minutes more.

Sausages with Caramelized Red Onions and Radicchio image

Radicchio's bitterness is a nice match for the slightly sweet sausages. Serve this hearty dish with crusty bread or with pasta tossed with olive oil, garlic, and chopped Italian parsley.

Provided by Myra Goodman

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 medium red onions (about 10 ounces each), halved, thinly sliced (about 5 1/2 cups)
2 large heads of Chioggia or Treviso radicchio (about 20 ounces total), cored, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 fully cooked chicken-apple sausages (about 3 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Melt butter with 1 teaspoon olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add red onions and cook until soft and golden brown, stirring often, about 25 minutes. Add radicchio and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and cook over medium-high heat until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep onion-radicchio mixture warm while preparing sausages.
  • Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in another heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken-apple sausages and cook until sausages are well browned and heated through, turning frequently, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve onion-radicchio mixture alongside sausages.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality sausage: The sausage is the star of this dish, so make sure to use a good-quality sausage that you enjoy the flavor of. You can use any type of sausage you like, such as Italian sausage, chorizo, or bratwurst.
  • Slice the sausage thinly: This will help the sausage cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a large skillet: You'll need a large skillet to cook all of the sausage and onions without overcrowding them. A 12-inch skillet is a good size.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat: This will help prevent the sausage from sticking to the skillet and burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the sausage will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick. Cook the sausage in batches if necessary.
  • Add the onions halfway through cooking: This will give the onions time to caramelize and develop a sweet flavor.
  • Use fresh thyme: Fresh thyme is best for this recipe, but you can use dried thyme if you don't have any fresh thyme on hand.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with additional fresh thyme or parsley if desired.

Conclusion:

This recipe for sausage with sautéed red onions and thyme is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The sausage is cooked to perfection and the onions are caramelized and sweet. The combination of the sausage, onions, and thyme is simply delicious. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
