My goal for 2012 was to cook several new recipes a week. I wanted to still incorporate our "go-to-favorites" but also find some new ones. This works well since I cook almost every night of the week and then prepare our lunches for the following days as well. Here is a great sausage, onion, and apple dish that I tried. Best part was I had almost everything I needed for the recipe on hand already. Love that!
Side Note: Half way through eating this I realized I hadn't snapped a photo, sorry!
Sausage and Apple Bake
Ingredients:
4-6 sausage links
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup hot pepper jelly
2 TBS dijon mustard
1 medium onion
3 apples
1 tsp dried basil
pepper
Directions:
* Pierce sausage in several places and place in a sauce pan that is lightly coated with oil. On medium heat brown on all sides. Remove sausage from pan and keep warm
* With the same pan place the sliced onion (vertical slices) and cook until browned.
* In a small bowl add apple juice, hot pepper jelly, and dijon mustard - mix well.
* Core and slice apples into thick wedges and add to the browned onions then add juice mixture and stir.
* Return the sausage to the pan and reduce heat to medium/low. Add the basil and pepper and cook until sausages are completely cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Kitchen Notes:
* When I talked to our butcher at Whole Foods he recommended I use their Teriyaki and Pineapple sauce for this recipe - they were also on sale!
* You could easily make this Vegan by using a vegan sausage
* I felt like the dish overall had too much liquid so I made some brown couscous to go with it.
* We loved this served with fresh homemade bread as well!
