Hot Italian Sausages with Caramelized Onions & Mushrooms
Directions
- Brown sausages over medium heat until done in a large oven safe pan. Remove from pan and drain.
- To same pan, over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Heat until butter melts.
- Add the slivered red onion and cook, stirring a few times, until onions are caramelized and softened.
- Add the mushrooms and toss well. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in balsamic vinegar, beef stock & water. Add sun-dried tomatoes slices, herbs, bay leaves, salt & black pepper. Bring to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- While doing the above preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Add whole browned sausages back to the pan of vegetables and place in oven to cook for 15 minutes. Sauce will cook down and reduce somewhat.
Notes
Baby Bella Mushrooms or Criminis are at most supermarkets these days. You can use white button mushrooms if you cannot find the others.
We used pre-cooked Basmati Rice for this and it was perfect. Long grain and firm. You just heat in the microwave and fluff up.
This is a great make-ahead dish. Double for a crowd.
