Knockwurst With Braised Cabbage And Apples Recipes

BRAISED WURST SAUSAGES WITH CABBAGE, RED ONION AND APPLE SLAW

Steps:

• Put the sausages in a skillet over high heat and add 1/2-inch of water and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the liquid to evaporate, cooking the sausages through. Once the liquid evaporates, the oil will help brown and crisp up the casings.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and sea salt in a small pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat to medium-low and let the brine reduce for 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the brine reduces, combine the cabbage, red onions, and apples in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with caraway or cumin seed, if you like the flavor.
• Pour the hot reduced brine through a strainer over the cabbage mixture in a slow stream. Evenly distribute it, then pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
• Toast the bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the herbs. Spread the mixture on the warm toast.
• Serve the sausages with the toast, slaw salad, mustard, radishes, and pickles.
