Sausages With Olives And White Wine Recipes

SAUSAGES IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Quickly sauté the chopped onion in some hot olive oil.
• Add the sausages and grill them on their outsides.
• Cover with white wine, and leave to simmer at medium heat for about 20 minutes.
• There you are, your sausages are ready!

SAUSAGES BRAISED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Butter a heavy, heatproof dish.
• Place the sausages in the pan with the oil and set over a medium heat.
• Brown them on all sides very lightly.
• Scatter over the shallots and cook for a minute or so, then add all the other ingredients except the parsley.
• Cover and simmer for 15 minutes till the sausages are tight and tender.
• Check from time to time that the liquid has not completely evaporated- there should be just enough left to make a bit of a sauce with.
• Lift out the sausages, drop in a large knob of cold butter and stir in till the sauce thickens.
• Scatter parsley and serve hot.

SAUSAGES WITH OLIVES AND WHITE WINE

Steps:

• 1 Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. 2 Add the olives, garlic, and wine. Lower the heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced and the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."

SAUSAGES WITH FENNEL AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons of the olive oil into the big skillet, and set over medium-high heat. Lay in all the sausages; cook them for 5 minutes or more, rolling them over occasionally, until they're nicely browned on all sides. Pour in the wine, and boil until it is reduced by half. Remove the sausages to a platter, and pour over them the wine remaining in the pan.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the empty skillet, toss in the garlic cloves, and cook for a minute or so, over medium heat, until they're sizzling. Drop the peperoncino in a hot spot for a few seconds, then scatter the squashed olives in the pan; toss and cook for a couple of minutes.
• Add the fennel chunks, and stir them in with the garlic and olives. Season the vegetables with 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover the skillet, and cook over medium-high heat for 20 minutes, tossing and stirring now and then, until the fennel softens, shrinks, and begins to color. Add a bit of water to the pan if the fennel remains hard and resistant to the bite.
• When the fennel is cooked through, return the sausages and the wine to the skillet. Turn and tumble the meat and vegetables together, and cook uncovered another 5 minutes or so, until everything is deeply caramelized and glazed. Adjust the seasoning to taste; keep cooking and tumbling the sausages and fennel. Serve piping hot.

SAUSAGE COOKED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Brown the sausage slowly in skillet, pricking skins first to prevent burning. Remove and drain on paper towels; discard the fat in the pan.
• Melt the butter in the same pan; add the chives and the flour.
• Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, add thyme, bay leaf, marjoram, and wine, stirring to blend well. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• Return the sausage to the skillet and heat in sauce until sauce thickens.
• Remove from heat and discard bay leaf.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, omelet, or popovers.
