Fine fruit is the most perfect union of the useful and the beautiful that the earth knows.
Roasted Sausages with Apples & Onions
Use any sausage you prefer, spicy or mild, and serve with polenta, mashed potatoes or a good crusty bread. Serves 4 and is raised to another level when served with an effervescent, tart cider like the Crab Medley
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 1⁄2 tsp salt
- 1⁄2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 1⁄4 pounds cored and sliced crisp tart apples (Goldrush are great if you can get them!)
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 pound sausage links, pricked with a fork
- 1⁄2 cup coarsely chopped parsley
- 1 Tbsp chopped chives
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or sherry vinegar, or more to taste
Directions
Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss onion slices with 2 Tbsp. oil, salt and pepper and spread in an even layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes, until onions are translucent.
2. Toss apple slices with 2 Tbsp oil and coriander. Add to pan with onions and toss together. Spread in an even layer and nestle sausages into the mixture.
3. Roast until sausage has browned, 25-30 minutes, flipping sausage and stirring apples and onions halfway through.
4. Transfer sausages to a platter or individual plates. Add parsley and chives to pan with apples and onions and mix gently. Transfer apples and onions to plates with the sausages.
5. Add vinegar to baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits. Drizzle pan juices over the sausages and apples; taste and adjust salt or vinegar on top, if desired.
