Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 sausages
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by slicing onions thinly and setting aside. Remove sausages from packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once oil is shimmering, add sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Push onions to one side of the skillet and add sausages to the other side. Cook sausages, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even browning on all sides, for about 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- When sausages are nearly done, stir mustard into the caramelized onions, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring onions are evenly coated.
- Remove skillet from heat. Let sausages rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Plate sausages and top generously with mustard-infused onions. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or a side salad.
Tips
- Choose Your Sausage Wisely: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality sausages, whether they are pork, chicken, or even a spicy variety. Each will bring its unique taste to the dish!
- Slice Onions Evenly: Ensure your onion slices are uniform in thickness to promote even cooking and caramelization. Thin slices will become beautifully soft and sweet.
- Control the Heat: Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning the onions. Patience is key for achieving that perfect golden-brown color!
- Don’t Rush the Sausages: Turn the sausages regularly to achieve an even brown crust. Using a meat thermometer can help ensure they are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Enhance Flavor with Seasoning: Don’t forget to season your onions with salt and pepper after adding the mustard. This will enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
- Serve with Sides: For a complete meal, consider serving your sausages with crusty bread or a fresh side salad to balance the richness of the dish.
