Italian Sausage

Recommended Posts

What's your preference - sausage patties or links?  I prefer patties with grilled onions and peppers.  Not very original.  Any advice on how to serve them?

Links or crumbled.  Rarely a patty.  

Links are often cooked in a pot with peppers and onions.  

 

We get the bulk stuff that’s typically used for patties, and pre-cook it in a frying pan.  Then we crumble it up and use it in sausage roll, or mix it into spaghetti sauce.  
 

now I’m hungry.

Links with traditional onions and peppers either pan fried or the wife sometimes tosses them in the oven. Also works good as an alternative to meatballs with pasta and sauce.  I'll do the patties on the grill instead of a burger from time to time too.

Links are my preference. And as Chef has already mentioned, they should be in intestines, not collagen casings.

 

But a good patty can be fine on a grill if all you have are round rolls.

 

Since I no longer have my sausage making equipment, I will sometimes just make sausage patties out of pork I have ground at the store.

 

One more thing. Slices from a link should NOT be put on a pizza. Ground, or crumbled sausage is the way to go.

Spicy Gianelli grilled up with some Weber’s mustard.  You don’t even really need bread.  I serve this or grilled kielbasa in this manner at my sexy pool parties.  Always a hit.

 

 

One of Johnny's party's... I had to do a little fact checking:

Claim:

Unfortunately, that's NOT true.  Bummer.

 

Enjoy your Italian sausages!

Fresh Italian Sweet Sausage Links - Johnsonville.com

 

 

When I lived in an area where Johnsonville was my best choice for Italian sausage I started making my own sausage.  It was quite a come down from Scipione and Scime---and frankly even Topps and Wegmans. 

 

BTW, I say that when I live in an area now that doesn't have all that much better. But strangely Publix's Greenwise Hot Italian Chicken Sausage is pretty damn good. Hard for me to even admit.

I like to take either a cooked patty or a link or two - split lengthwise, and put it in a small amount of leftover tomato sauce with sautéed peppers and onions, maybe some mushrooms (not necessary at all) in a sauce pan on the stove.  Leave it on low for a little while to thicken up the sauce.  I add a pretty fair amount of crushed red pepper and a bit of extra black pepper to get the sauce and peppers/onions to a good hot flavor.

 

Toast a roll or some thick slices of Italian bread and make a sandwich out of it. Add mozzarella or sprinkle on some parmesan or romano cheese.

One of my favorite sandwiches as well (minus the onions and mushrooms).  If I have really sharp provolone, I might add a thin slice of that, as well. 

 

And now that I think about it, since there are zero decent beef on wecks down here, a homemade one is one of my favorites. Thought it's a bit more work than I typically want to to take on for a sandwich on a typical day. Still every couple months, I just have to have one.
