Sausage and apple casserole

1st thing I ever cooked for Treebeak:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 x 400g pack sausages
1 Braeburn apple
40g butter
2 leeks, trimmed and cut into chunks
1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 heaped teaspoon plain flour
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
340ml dry cider
salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages all over - this will take about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, peel, core and cut the apple into 8 wedges.
3. Melt 25g of the butter with the remaining olive oil in another frying pan, and cook the apple wedges and leeks until tender and golden, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the sliced onion to the pan with the remaining butter, and cook until golden.
5. Add the flour to the onions and cook for 30 seconds before adding the mustard and cider.
6. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to the boil and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
7. Add the browned sausages, apples and leeks to the pan, and continue to cook them all for a further 10 minutes. Serve straightaway with mashed or baked potatoes.

I fucked upthe teaspoon of flour and put a tablespoon in though!!! :eek:

Still ate it.

Nice precise recipe. I shall be putting a personal variation on the theme tomorrow. Sounds fucking delicious.

:)


e2a; I reckon there's room for some mature cheddar in there somewhere. Yum!

I don't know about mixing meat and fruits :confused:

Don't ever go to Morocco then. Or India. Or Thailand. Indeed, best you stay at home, coz I've had fruit and meat mixes all over the world!

;) :D

I'm a bit iffy about meat/fruit mixes too. I can't understand cranberry sauce, or putting sultanas in curries. Saying that, I love pork with apple, and had a delicious chicken pie with prunes in it yesterday.
 
Mental note: Don't read threads like this when I don't have a usable kitchen. I want to make this now and can't :(

but i'm of indian descent and I've never seen chicken curry with grapes mixed in. we don't traditionally mix fruit and meats. at least not on the food I grew up with.

Different areas of the indian subcontinent do it though. The indian food my mum cooked never had sweet fruits in it either.

Would people class mixing beef and tomato as mixing fruit and meats?

Well, why not?
because even though the tomatoe is technically a fruit it does not taste like one. otherwise we would have bleedin' tomatoe flavoured ice cream :D
 
Mixing sweet and savoury has been seen as a sin in Britain for ages. Its wierd we have this phobia when I can't think of other nations that do.

It took us ages to accept Duck with orange sauce and many still turn their nose up to the idea.

Tesco's do some really nice apple and pork sausages as well.. only that might be apple overload :confused:

Those are actually much better roasted rather than grilled or fried, they go all sticky and yum.
 
Sausages are always better done in the oven. Fact!

If we can have bacon ice cream, we can damn well have tomato icecream!

Mixing fruit with meat is an anglo saxon tradition! Pork and apple sauce, turkey and cranberry, etc etc etc
