Cooking Sausage Recipes

OVEN BAKED SAUSAGES WITH POTATOES, VEGETABLE AND GRAVY!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200C/390F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan / convection).
• Place Vegetable ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well to coat.
• Add sausages and toss briefly.
• Transfer into roasting pan. Pan should be of a size so the vegetables are stacked about 2 deep - see photos and video. Rearrange sausages so they are on top.

PAN-CRISPED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Prick sausages all over with a fork, and transfer to a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Fill skillet with enough water to reach a quarter of the way up sides of sausages. Simmer, covered, until sausages are cooked through and water evaporates, 10 to 15 minutes. (If sausages have cooked through but water has not evaporated, uncover, and continue to cook until water evaporates.)
• Continue to cook sausages, turning, until crisp and golden brown all around, about 3 minutes. Serve with cheeses.

SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. If using sausages, remove casings and discard them.
• Place cabbage in boiling water, cover, and let water come back to the boil. Uncover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain cabbage in a colander and run cold water over it to stop cooking.
• Put about 1/3 of the cabbage in buttered dish and cover with 1/2 the meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter. Repeat, ending with a final layer of cabbage, and dot top with butter.
• Cover dish tightly with a layer of parchment paper, then top with a lid or a layer of aluminum foil. Cook for about 2 1/2 hours, until cabbage is soft and sweet, and top is lightly browned. After 2 hours, uncover the dish: if there is a lot of liquid in the bottom, leave uncovered for the rest of the cooking time. If not, re-cover and finish cooking.

HOW TO COOK ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place sausage in a large skillet.
• Add water to ½" depth. Bring to a simmer and cover.
• Simmer for 12 minutes. Remove lid and continue to simmer until water evaporates turning sausages occasionally to brown.

HOW TO COOK SAUSAGE IN THE OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 400°convection. Anything from 350° to 425° with or without convection should be fine, but you will need to adjust time and perhaps need a couple of minutes under a broiler at the end to brown up some.
• If cooking sausage patties, dimple the patty center by about 1/4 inch deep and 3/4 inch diameter. This will prevent puffing of the meat during cooking.
• Spread sausage over a rimmed baking tray, so they don't touch. I'm using a non-stick baking pan. A spray of PAM doesn't hurt. You could use parchment paper or non-stick foil also.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the sausage. If doing links of sausage, rotate them.
• Finish cooking to an internal temperature of 165°. If you want more browning, do a few minutes under a broiler.
