SAUSAGES IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• There you are, your sausages are ready!

SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages; cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add wine and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half. Transfer sausages to a platter; pour over cooking liquid.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add crushed red pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds. Add olives and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes more.
• Add fennel and stir to combine. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover skillet, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until fennel is soft and begins to brown, about 20 minutes. Add a little water to skillet if fennel does not begin to soften.
• Return sausages and their cooking liquid to skillet. Toss together with fennel mixture and cook, uncovered, until mixture is caramelized and well coated, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

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.
