Grilled some sausage from a recent batch tonight and tossed together an easy veggie side dish. This sausage recipe is tweaked from a recipe book I have and I ended up with this....
2 3/4 lbs pork butt
1/4 lb homemade bacon
1 cup apple cider
2 small leeks, chopped (white parts only)
1 granny smith apple, chopped
1 TBS kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 TBS fresh chopped parsley
2 TBS fresh chopped rosemary
I don't have pics of the process, but here is how it went down:
While chilling meat, simmer cider in saucepan until thickens to a syrup. Then let cool
Heat 1 TBS canole oil in a med. skillet and saute leeks and apples for about 5 minutes and let cool
Season the meat with remainder of seasonings/herbs & grind
Blend together with cider reduction and apple/leek mixture. Then stuff.
Here are a few of the links.
While the chimney of lump was getting started I tossed together some brussel sprouts, mushrooms, and onion with some olive oil, garlic, pepper and then stirred in a couple tablespoons of basil pesto until lightly coated.
Closer look
Grilling the sausages and put the veggies in a couple foil pouches to cook
Sausages are done
And so are the veggies.
The plated pic.
The sausage is great but I might stuff into sheep casing next time cause it would be a great breakfast sausage alternative. The veggies rocked! And would work with any veggies you prefer.
Thanks for looking.
