Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sausage
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- to taste salt
- 1.75 lbs potatoes
- 0.85 cup milk
- 3.5 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- to taste nutmeg
Tools
- Frying Pans
- Saucepans
Steps
Firstly, I recommend scoring the sausage in several places to prevent it from puffing up and “exploding” during cooking.
Then heat the EVO oil in a large pan and add the garlic clove and rosemary sprig.Add the sausage and brown it over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, until it’s well cooked and golden on all sides.
Remove the garlic and rosemary.Mix the honey, whole grain mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
Then pour this emulsion over the sausage and continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes over low heat, turning occasionally to glaze and evenly flavor the meat.
Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with the accompaniment of the creamy mashed potatoes prepared this way.
MASHED POTATOES
Peel the potatoes and boil them in slightly salted water for about 25-30 minutes, until they are soft.
Drain well and mash with a potato masher while still hot.
Heat the milk in a saucepan (about 150-200 ml for 800 g of potatoes) without bringing it to a boil.
Add the hot milk to the mashed potatoes, little by little, and always stirring to achieve a creamy consistency.
Then add the butter in pieces (about 40-50 g) and let it melt completely.
Season with salt and pepper and flavor with a pinch of nutmeg.
Serve hot, as an accompaniment to the honey and mustard glazed sausage bites, the one with the grains!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
