I keep having to find the email my Mother sent me this in (back in 2002).
Sausage & Apple braise
- 1 lb cooking apples, peeled & cored
- 1 lb leeks, trimmed
- 1 lb pork sausage meat
- 2 1/4oz pkt instant potato
- salt & pepper
- 7fl oz dry cider
- 1 level tsp dried mixed herb
- chopped fresh parsley or mint for garnish
serves 4
Cut apples into thick, even slices. Finely slice leeks & wash well. Put
apples in boiling water, bring back to boil and blanch for 1 minute.
Drain & cool quickly. Repeat with leeks.
With wetted hands, shape sausage meat into balls about size of large
cherry.
In lightly buttered 3pt ovenproof dish layer up the apple,leek and half
the sausage balls with a sprinkling of instant potato and seasoning
between layers. Finish with remaining sausage balls as a topping. Mix
cider with herbs and pour it over the mixture. Bake at Mark 5 for about
1 hour. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley or mint.
Emperor Says: seems to work fine with sausages. I usually use a bit more cider than that, too.
Aquarion Says: LC dislikes the leeks, so try it with 1/2 leeks and something (onions?) instead. Think on this
