Sausage, Caramelized Shallots, Apples, Green Beans & Baby Potatoes

Yield: 4 Servings

Adapted from: NY Times

In this rustic sheet-pan dinner, apples, green beans and shallots roast slowly alongside pork sausage, becoming fragrant and caramelized in the process. A quick toss with whole-grain mustard and apple cider vinegar adds a savory edge, making the apple and shallot mixture almost reminiscent of chutney. This recipe works equally well with both sweet and hot pork sausage, as well as any crisp apples, though a mix of red and green apples looks particularly nice.

Note: Updated to add potatoes and green beans to make this a complete meal.

  • 6shallots, trimmed on both ends and peeled (about 6 oz)
  • 2crisp apples (preferably one tart, like Granny Smith, and one sweet, like Fuji)
  • 12oz baby potatoes
  • 8oz fresh green beans
  • 1TBS olive oil, plus more as needed
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1lb sweet or hot Italian sausages
  • 3fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 1tsp whole-grain mustard
  • 1-2tsp apple cider vinegar, to taste
  • chopped fresh parsley, for serving 


Prep:

Heat the oven to 425°F.

Cut the shallots lengthwise into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Core the apples and cut into ½-inch-thick wedges.

Trim the green beans.

Place the shallots, apples and potatoes on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 TBS olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.

Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.

Add the green beans, rosemary and mustard to the pan with the shallots, apples and potatoes, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer.

Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160°F and the shallots are tender and caramelized.

Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs.

Pour the vinegar over the shallots, apples and potatoes, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately with Dijon mustard on the side.

with Potatoes, and Broccoli

Yield: 4

ATK

Roasting the vegetables while cooking the pork means this dinner comes together in less than an hour. Roasting unpeeled garlic cloves with potatoes and broccoli rendered them sweet and creamy. The roasted garlic added depth and body to a creamy mustard pan sauce.

  • 1½lb small red potatoes, unpeeled, halved
  • 6TBS extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 10garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 2tsp table salt, divided
  • 1½tsp pepper, divided
  • 1lb broccoli florets, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 48- to 10-oz bone-in pork rib chops, ¾ to 1 inch thick, trimmed
  • ½cup chicken broth
  • ⅓cup heavy cream
  • 2TBS grainy mustard
  • 2tsp lemon juice

Prep and roast vegetables:

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 475°F.

Toss potatoes, 3 TBS oil, garlic, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper together on rimmed baking sheet. Arrange potatoes cut side down and roast for 10 minutes.

Toss broccoli with 2 TBS oil and ½ tsp salt and scatter over and around potatoes. Roast until vegetables are tender and browned, about 20 minutes. Squeeze garlic from the skin and chop fine.

Pork:

Meanwhile, pat pork dry with paper towels and sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.

Heat the remaining 1 TBS oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.

Add pork and cook until browned and registers at 140°F, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer pork to platter.

Sauce:

Add broth and cream to the now-empty skillet and cook over medium-high heat until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir mustard, lemon juice, garlic, and any accumulated pork juices into sauce.

Serve:

Divide pork chops between plates. Add potatoes and broccoli beside pork. Drizzle sauce over pork.
