Cooking Italian Sausage - Sealing In The Juices For Delicious Flavor

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 04 Januari 2013 0 komentar
Italian sausage is made of pork and usually contains anise or fennel. There must be less than 35% fat and more than 85% meat. It can be hot, sweet (which is often flavored with basil) or mild and is usually grilled and enjoyed with vegetables. There is also kielbasa, which is white, and this comes raw and unsmoked. It is boiled or cooked and similar in flavor to the Italian variety.
Italian sausage needs to be kept in the refrigerator until you need it and then you should prick it a few times using a fork before cooking, else the sausages might explode in the heat. Cook them until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F to ensure they are safe to eat. This ingredient should be pink and fleshy without sliminess or odor.
The best way to seal in the juices is to make sure the sausages do not cook for too long. They do have to be 160 degrees F inside but you can choose from various cooking methods. Either cook them dry and fast or cook them slowly in liquid for the best results.
Different Cooking Methods
Grilling is a great way to cook this ingredient and you can put them in a pot with water, chicken bouillon granules, beer, and a bay leaf and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once the water starts to simmer transfer the sausages to the grill and cook them for a couple of minutes per side or until they are done.
If you want to bake them, you can cut them in half lengthwise when they are frozen (or when thawed but this is trickier), then pierce them and brown them on each side. Put them in a dish with marinara sauce and some grated mozzarella, then bake for twenty minutes at 375 degrees F or until they are cooked through. Sprinkle parsley over the top and serve.
You can braise Italian sausages in a crockpot too. Put a pound of halved links in a crockpot with quarter of a cup of sherry, a tablespoon of soy sauce, two cups of beer or water, a bay leaf and two cloves of garlic in your crockpot, then cook on high for two hours. Turn the heat down to low and cook them until they are done.
To braise them, saute them in an ovenproof pot or skillet, and then add a sliced fennel bulb, a sliced onion, and a bay leaf. Use half a cup each of chicken broth and red wine to deglaze the pot, then cover it and bake for half an hour at 375 degrees F or until the sausages are done.
If you prefer to fry your Italian sausages, prick them and cut them in half. Fry them in hot oil for about five minutes or until they are golden brown, then drain them on paper towels and serve with cheese, onions, bacon, and whatever else you like, on hoagie rolls or hot dog buns.
Italian sausage is an interesting ingredient to use in your pizza recipes. If you are going for a meat feast type pizza why not add Italian sausage to the toppings and use a tomato-enriched pizza sauce recipe to make it extra tasty?
