Sausage, Sage & Onion with Apple & Celery!

Turn this into this in minutes!  This is an easy, one pot meal, that's absolutely wonderful.

The combination of sausage, sage and onions, is classic and just plain fantastic!  You can serve it with eggs for breakfast or pasta for dinner, and you won't be disappointed...

Adam the butcher at market place, here in Friday Harbor, has recently gone out on a limb to make sausage and other products using his own recipes.  And here's doing a great job!  Be sure to go by and meet him.

Recipe for two:
6 Adams chipolata sausages, skins removed and broken up into small pieces
1/2 large yellow onion, finely sliced
1/2 apple, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
8 fresh sage leaves, finely sliced
olive oil
butter
pinch chili flakes
1 t paprika
S&P
parsley rough chopped for garnish

Brown the sausage in a heavy saute pan with some butter and olive oil, over medium high heat.  Don't be shy using butter, it will bring the flavors together and make it taste really good...

When done add everything except the paprika.  Cook until done. Then add the paprika and cook a little more to toast it.

Serve on warm plates with an egg and garnish with parsley.

Toad in the Hole, or Bangers in Bed...

OK, the butcher (Adam) at Marketplace here on San Juan Island is making some incredible sausages and pancetta!  You have to check his stuff out...

4 of Adam's Irish pork and apple sausages
1/2 red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
Batter:
1/2 t salt
4 T flour
Olive oil

Set the oven to 375*  Quickly brown the sausages (no need to cook them though, just brown them), then place in a baking dish.  Mix all the batter ingredients together, and whisk.  Then pour into the baking dish with the sausages.  Now add the onion and bake for around 1 hour and 15 minutes...
