Knackwurst Skillet Recipes

Steps:

• In a large deep saucepan or Dutch oven, bring the combined chicken broth, mustard and caraway seeds to boil over high heat.
• Add sweet potato and onion. Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, for 5 minutes, giving pan an occasional shake.
• Stir in cabbage and sausage. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add apple, season to taste, cover and cook another 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the sausages in a skillet over high heat and add 1/2-inch of water and a drizzle of oil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the liquid to evaporate, cooking the sausages through. Once the liquid evaporates, the oil will help brown and crisp up the casings.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and sea salt in a small pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir, then lower the heat to medium-low and let the brine reduce for 5 to 6 minutes.
• While the brine reduces, combine the cabbage, red onions, and apples in a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with caraway or cumin seed, if you like the flavor.
• Pour the hot reduced brine through a strainer over the cabbage mixture in a slow stream. Evenly distribute it, then pour about 1/4 cup of oil over the salad. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
• Toast the bread. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the herbs. Spread the mixture on the warm toast.
• Serve the sausages with the toast, slaw salad, mustard, radishes, and pickles.

Steps:

• Put sauerkraut in a large saucepan (add a little liquid if necessary - water, white wine, broth or beer).
• Mix in caraway seed and brown sugar (if using).
• Put knackwurst on top.
• Cover and cook on low heat 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Grill knockwurst, turning frequently, until marked by grill and heated through, about 5 minutes. Cut each knockwurst on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices. Serve with grilled mushrooms and garlic.

Steps:

• Layer in either a Dutch oven for stove top cooking, or in a crockpot.
• Begin with potatoes, then sauerkraut, then a sprinkling of caraway seeds and half the brown sugar, then the apples, then the knockwurst, then the chicken broth, then the rest of the brown sugar.
• Cover and cook on low for stove top, for 2 hours.
• If using the crockpot, cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours.
