Sausage Scaloppine Recipes

SAUSAGE CALZONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Brown sausage in a small skillet in a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the cooked crumbled sausage to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Combine sausage with ricotta, parsley, garlic, Parmigiano, nutmeg, pepper, and pimento. Roll out doughs and halve cross-wise. Place a dough rectangle on a nonstick cookie sheet. Use 1/2 cup mozzarella on half of each dough rectangle and pile a mound of filling on half of the total area. Fold dough over and pinch edges to seal. The result is a rectangular turnover.
• For half-moon shaped calzones, trim excess dough. Roll dough bits into strips, tie in knots and brush with garlic oil and cheese. Garlic knots are fun to dip at the table.
• Bake calzones 15 minutes or until golden all over. Serve calzones with warm tomato, marinara, or pizza sauce for dipping.
• Cook's Note: For an additional time saver, 2 packages precooked sausage crumbles, 8 ounces each, may be substituted for raw Italian sausage used in the above recipe.
• Add olive oil to medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add garlic and crushed pepper to the heated olive oil; when pepper snaps and garlic sizzles, stir in crushed tomatoes. Season sauce with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for five minutes and stir in parsley. Serve.

Add veal; cook until juices run clear, about 1 minute on each side. Remove and keep warm., Add mushrooms to skillet; cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Spoon over veal.

SCALOPPINE WITH ANY MEAT

Steps:

• Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add cutlets and cook quickly, about 1 minute per side. Transfer cutlets to a plate.
• Return skillet to low heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling the pan, until you can smell it. Squeeze in the lemon or lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over cutlets and serve.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

MOMMOM FAIELLA'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Mix all of the above together except the last two ingredients.
• Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add the 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir in it well.
• Then immediately lower the burner to a simmer with the lid on the pot slightly ajar.
• Cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally all of the way to the bottom.
• *If you didn't add enough water from the beginning, you might need to add a little more water during the cooking time - you just have to judge if it looks like it cooked down too much. It should be liquidy, but more on the thick liquid side, not watery.
• When finished cooking, serve it over the cooked rice.

SAUSAGE SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• Fry sausage over medium heat in large frying pan until when cut, it is just a bit pink in the center.
• Remove sausage from pan and add peppers and onions to the frying pan.
• While onions and peppers are cooking, slice sausage into 1/2 inch rounds.
• Return sausage to pan and add the jar of sauce.
• Stir everything until well combined and let simmer for about 15 minutes or so, allowing sauce to cook down a bit and thicken.
• Serve on Italian rolls or over pasta.

SAUSAGE CASSOULET

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to low (ours had a 5-litre capacity). Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and brown the sausages on each side - you don't have to cook them all the way through. Set aside on a plate. Put the lardons, onion and celery in the pan and cook over a medium heat for 8-10 mins until the onion is translucent and the lardons crisp. Stir in the garlic, paprika and thyme, and fry for 3 mins.
• Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced by half, around 5-10 mins. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, stock, both lots of beans, the sugar and vinegar. Stir until combined and bring to the boil. Pour into the slow cooker with the sausages. Cover and cook for 6-8 hrs. Serve with crusty bread.

SCALOPPINE WITH SAGE AND WALNUT OIL

Steps:

• Season the scaloppine with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the scaloppine on both sides with flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over high heat, heat the butter and vegetable oil. Working in batches, slip the scaloppine into the skillet, adding only as much as will fit loosely in the pan. Cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and repeat until all the veal is cooked.
• Pour the wine into the skillet and cook, stirring and scraping any browned bits up from the bottom of the pan. Cook until all but a few tablespoons of the wine have evaporated. Stir in the walnut oil and sage. Add the scaloppine to the pan, turning 2 or 3 times, until just warmed through. Return to the platter and serve immediately.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Flatten turkey to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. In another bowl, beat egg and water. In a third shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and cheese. , Dredge turkey in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture and coat with crumbs. Let stand for 5 minutes. , Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook turkey for 2-3 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink and coating is golden brown. Sprinkle with parsley.

PORK AND CHESTNUT SAUSAGE WRAPPED IN CHICKEN BREAST SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• One at a time, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. With a mallet or other pounding device, such as the flat side of a hammer or the bottom of a wine bottle, pound the chicken breast until 1/4 inch thick or slightly thinner.
• Discard the waxed paper. Spread about one-sixth of the sausage lengthwise along the center of each scaloppine. Roll up to enclose the sausage and secure closed with toothpicks or kitchen string.
• In a sauté pan large enough to hold the chicken rolls without crowding, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rolls, sprinkle them with the black pepper, and sauté, turning frequently, until lightly golden all around, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the wine, garlic, and tarragon and stir to mix. Bring just to a boil and decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, basting frequently, until the juices are no longer pink when a roll is pierced, about 15 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a platter and set aside in a warm place.
• Reduce the liquid remaining in the pan over high heat until bubbles break from the bottom rather than only across the surface, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the rolls and serve right away.
