I made the most delicious sausage last night…yah really me!
Now it was pork sausage so I’m sorry if I offend but really it just tastes so much better, I mean if you’re going to be bad…BE BAD…nobody really likes turkey sausage. Eat turkey or eat well but when you’re bad be bad!
(She sez as she’s limping toward 62, with luck, so take that with a grain of salt substitute)
I purchased just plain old store bought Italian Hot Sausage and cooked it in a pan with:
(Not necessarily in this order but I think so)
Salt, smidgeon of olive oil, and Tapatio’ hot sauce.
(oh that uncle rocks!)
After I rolled them often and they were brown…the sausage that is… I added beer covered them and let them simmer. After I took the lid off and the beer boiled down, I added some balsamic vinegar, some cheap red wine…more than some…a large dash of Lea & Perrins and a squeeze of lemon juice,
why the lemon juice I don’t actually know….been at the cheap red wine too much would be my guess.
Then I also cut up hunks of red bell pepper and added it to the pan/brew and cooked it all down to a marvelous reduction…a big gunky mess but oh so good. I “deglazed” the gunk with more beer, cooked that down to nut’n and then added this to a previously made pasta bake done by
Yum!!!! You and I are on the same wavelength this week…I just recently made sausage and peppers for the first time (yeah, I truly cook that little). I browned sweet Italian sausage in some olive oil and then set them aside and threw some green and red peppers and some onion and garlic into the leftover oil and seared them. Then I added Marsala – good ole cheap red wine indeed! Put the sausage back in the pan, let it simmer for about 20 minutes and then I poured it over pasta. Yum yum. I’m gonna have to try YOUR recipe now! God knows I love me some beer 🙂
Hi yah Lis, isn’t it freaky but I only eat sausage about once a year and I was just CRAVING it!!!! We are on the same wave length only years and a continental apart.
Your idea sounds real good too, so I may actually have to eat it twice this year. I didn’t go to work today and I’ve been on a “roll” on WordPress, my LIFE SUCKS! but what else is new? So instead of being productive, I had fun. Keep the “faith” luv ya. dru
Giggle….I hope some people will follow your link here. I only had turkey sausage because it is cheap. WordPress have changed things around again. I have been working on my menu for quilting. It took me a long time to figure out where to find the place to change it. It used to be under widgets. I got it figured out after a few choice words mutter to my computer. I am going to add some of my needlework to the site. I have done some really nice stuff that I should share to my crafty followers.
I know we are just too old to enjoy most changes. We can do it but not as easily as we used to or at least that is what is happening with me; of course I’m brain dead from alcohol too but age has sure caught up with me. This post was just for you and me….a blast from our past…so to speak.
I had just reviewed it myself to help me remember what I did that I thought was so good and then there was your recipe for a sausage dish with pasta and I couldn’t resist. Have a good weekend Momoe…..dru
