Chilli And Honey Sausage Bites Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute sausage and peppers in oil until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. , Stir in the tomatoes, beans, chili sauce, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve with sour cream if desired.

Steps:

• Grill/broil the sausages until cooked. Once cooked, cut each sausage into 3 - 5 pieces, depending on sausage size and how delicate you want your 'bites' to be!
• Put the honey and chilli sauce in a pan and warm on a low heat. When it starts to lightly bubble, add the sausage pieces and toss in the sauce for a few minutes. Do not overheat or cook for a long time or the honey-chilli mix will turn to brittle toffee and you'll have burnt toffee-sausages when they cool.
• Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan on a low heat for a couple of minutes, tossing regularly. Tip the sausages into a serving bowl and sprinkle the seeds over the top. Serve slightly warm for best flavour.

Steps:

• Sausage -- In a medium saute pan, add the butter and bring to medium high heat. Add the sausage and cook 1-2 minutes. You want them a little brown but not too much. Then remove and transfer to the crock pot or a large pot on the stove.
• NOTE: As I said, there are turkey, chicken, pork sausages out there with a variety of flavors. I try to stick with a herb chicken or turkey sausage if possible, but use what you can find. www.aidelle.com has so many great flavors, I just asked my store manager and they ordered it even though they didn't have it. So just check and ask. Many meat markets will carry many flavors as well. Aidelle's is usually just found by the hot dogs and the sausages in most major grocery stores.
• Apple and Onions -- In the same pan to the sausage drippings, add the apples and onions and cook 3-4 minutes. Then transfer to the crock pot as well or a large pot on the stove.
• Sauce -- Add the apple cider, beer (wine or broth if you don't want the beer; however the beer really adds tons of flavor), bay leaf, thyme, brown sugar, butter and honey. At this point, I just add a pinch of both salt and pepper. You can also add more after they are done cooking. Stove is approximately 1 hour on medium low. For the crock pot - low for about 3 hours. Three hours works for me, but just test yours after 2 hours to make sure the apples and onions are good and soft.
• Baguettes -- As the sausage simmers, toast up your baguettes, I like to thin slice my baguette (or you can use your favorite bread) and toast in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes until golden brown. Nothing more.
• Dips -- Now my friend enjoys a honey mustard. Just mix dijon mustard and honey and set in a small bowl in the refrigerator. My favorite is my swiss cheese sauce. which takes just a minute to make.
• A standard bechemel/cheese sauce. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter on med heat and then stir in the flour and mix for about 1 minute until well combined. Add in the milk and stir until thickened. Then add in the cheese and mix on medium low until creamy.
• Serving -- Before serving, I check for seasoning - salt and pepper, add if needed. When ready to serve, you will have four bowls which I all put on one platter and then plate the baguettes all around the side. Transfer the apples and onions and juice to one bowl. I try to spoon most of the sausage into one bowl but don't worry if some of the onions and apples get mixed in, it is all part of the same dish (and don't forget to remove the bay leaf and stems from the thyme); and the two dips, the honey mustard and warm cheese dip in the other two bowls.
• I like to take a few baguettes, top with the apple & onion mix, a couple of sausage bites and a spoon of the cheese and set to the side so people can see how they go together. I have found some like just the sausage, some like just the apples and onions on the bread and some all separate, but at least I showed how it goes together. It is just really a unique appetizer which can all be made ahead which is the best part.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, whisk together the first 5 ingredients over med-high heat.
• Bring to a boil; add sausages, and return to a boil.
• Decrease heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
• Keep warm in a slow cooker on LOW, if desired.
• *Bourbon-Mustard Glazed Meatballs: substitute 1 (32 oz.) package frozen meatballs for sausages; increase water to 1 cup; proceed as directed, increasing simmer time to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with foil. Mix honey and both of the mustards in a bowl. You can make the glaze 2-3 days ahead.
• Add the sausages and toss well to coat them. Arrange the sausages, spaced apart, on the baking tray. Smooth any remaining glaze left in the bowl on top of the sausages to make them extra sticky. Bake for 20 mins until golden.

Steps:

• Heat half the oil in a large pan and cook the sausages for 12-15 mins over a medium heat until brown all over and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
• Drizzle the rest of the oil into the pan and cook the onion and peppers for 10 mins, over a low heat stirring often until all the veg has softened.
• Stir in the garlic, all the spices and the chipotle paste, if using, and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, a canful of water, the ketchup and some seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 mins half-covered with a lid or loosely covered with foil. Stir occasionally, topping up with water if the mixture starts to look too thick.
• Slice the cooked sausages into thick coins and return to the pan, then tip in the beans. Cook for another few minutes until heated through, then spoon into bowls and scatter with coriander leaves, if using, some grated cheese and a dollop of yogurt or soured cream. Serve with tortilla chips for scooping, as a filling for jacket potatoes, or over rice.

Steps:

• Wrap one slice bacon around each piece of kielbasa; secure with a toothpick.
• Place in an ungreased 13"X9" baking pan; bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients together; set aside until sausage is done.
• Pour on top and bake for additional 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Mango & Prawn skewers 3 limes, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 chopped and deseeded red chilli and 1 tbsp chopped coriander. Cut a large mango into 20 chunks. Thread each onto a small skewer with a large cooked prawn (20 prawns will be about 250g/9oz). Marinate the skewers in the lime dressing for 1 hr (makes 20).
• Little caviar jackets Put 20 small new potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season. Roast for 25 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6, then cool to room temp. Cut a small cross in the top of each one, push open a little and top with 1 tsp crème fraîche and some caviar (makes 20).

Put a cocktail stick in each chunk to serve (makes 20).
• Chorizo & chilli mini pizzas Use a pastry cutter to cut out 20 x 6cm circles from a pack of soft Middle Eastern flatbread or wraps. Grate 75g/2.5oz Manchego and chop 75g/2.5oz chorizo and ½ a red chilli. Scatter over the bread bases, then bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 10 mins (makes 20).
• Goat's cheese on toast Roughly mash 250g/9oz goat's cheese with 2 finely chopped shallots. Toast 5-6 slices of sourdough and stamp out 20 small circles. Spread each circle with some cheese, top with a small blob of chilli jam (you'll need about 3 tbsp) and scatter with chives, snipped from a small packet (makes 20).

Steps:
