Italian Sausage And Mustard Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the collard greens, garlic, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the pasta, lemon zest, and half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet and toss. If needed, add more of the pasta water and toss again. Serve topped with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss potatoes, 2 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper on an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Prick sausages all over with a sharp knife, then nestle among potatoes. Roast, turning sausage and tossing potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are lightly browned and just barely fork-tender and sausage is just cooked through, 12-14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, honey, and remaining 6 Tbsp. olive oil, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Pour about 1/4 cup dressing into a small bowl or pitcher and reserve for serving. Toss greens in remaining (about 2 Tbsp.) dressing, using your hands to massage dressing evenly into leaves.
• Scatter dressed leaves in an even layer over sausage and potatoes. Roast, tossing greens halfway through, until greens are tender and charred in places, 3-5 minutes.
• Separate sausage, potatoes, and greens into sections to serve, if desired, or toss all together. Serve with reserved dressing alongside.

Steps:

• * Chop the mustard greens, rinse thorougly and set aside. * Brown Italian Sausage in a large fry pan on medium high. Keep turning the sausage so that they have a nice, brownish color. Don't worry that they are not cooking all the way through because they will cook some more in the next few steps. * With the pan still hot and the sausage browned, just dump the greens on top of the sausage. They will probably fill up the pan, but just start pushing them down and around. They will start to reduce immediately. If you want to add garlic do it after the sausage is browned and before you add the greens. Just toss the garlic in for about 30 seconds before the greens are added. * Now pour about a cup (start with a 1/2 cup) of water into the pan (it should sizzle as it starts to pick up all the flavors at the bottom of the pan). * Now cover the pan and reduce the heat. * Cook for about 20 minutes until the sausages are cooked thoroughly and the greens have softened and picked up the flavors and juices in the pan. If you want to make sure the greens are cooked only slightly, just cook the sausage longer before you add the greens. * While everything's still steeping hot, sprinkle lemon and the Parmesan cheese over the top.

Steps:

• Slice the onion thinly and separate into rings. Core the apple and slice thinly. Mix mustard and oregano together. Prick sausages in several places with a fork.
• In a medium bowl toss the onions, apple, and olive oil. Fold a 36x18" sheet of heavy foil in half. Place onion/apple mixture on the foil. Fold edges together and crimp to seal.
• Heat the grill to medium heat (direct). Place foil packet on grill; close and grill for 10 minutes.
• Add sausages to the grill rack (leave the foil packet on). Brush with mustard mix. Grill 16-18 minutes, until no longer pink, turning occasionally and brushing with mustard mix.
• Serve sausages in the buns, topped with the onion/apple mixture.

Steps:

• Place the pork and red wine vinegar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, paprika, red pepper flakes, fennel seed, brown sugar, oregano, and thyme. Knead until flecks of spice are evenly distributed through the sausage.
• Divide the sausage into thirds, and form into 3 logs; wrap each in plastic wrap. Place wrapped sausage into a freezer bag before freezing, or store in refrigerator for at least 12 hours before cooking.

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix relish ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.
• In another small bowl, mix mustard and oregano; set aside.
• Place sausages on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Continue grilling 8 to 10 minutes longer, turning and brushing occasionally with mustard mixture, until no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining mustard mixture.
• Serve sausages on buns with relish.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine spring onions, potatoes, sauerkraut, garlic and 1/4 cup oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast for 10 minutes.
• Arrange sausages on top and roast until spring onions and potatoes are tender and sausages are heated through, about 30 minutes longer.
• While the sausages roast, in a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons parsley, if using, with the mustard, shallot and lemon juice, plus the remaining 1/4 cup oil and 1 tablespoon water. Stir to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
• Divide sausages and vegetables among plates. Sprinkle with additional parsley, if using, and drizzle with mustard relish to taste.
