Cabbage and Polish Sausage Dinner


1 lb. Scott Petersen Polish Sausage, sliced
1 sm. head cabbage, chopped
1 onion, sliced julienne-style
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, sliced
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 whole bay leaf
2 tsp. oil
Salt & pepper to taste

In Dutch oven, over medium heat, cook onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover, cook for 20 minutes.

 
TIP 1: Types of Sausage: Sausages are divided into three categories.
 


Cooked Sausage. Cooked sausage is usually smoked.These sausages are safe to eat without further cooking. Cooked smoked sausages, like Scott Petersen's Polish Sausage, are best pan-fried, simmered, grilled or broiled. These sausages should be cooked within 3 to 5 days of purchase.

Dry or Semidry Fully Cured Sausage. Sausage made from fresh meat that is cured and dried during processing can be eaten without further cooking. They should be used within 2 to 3 weeks.

Fresh (Uncooked) Sausage. Usually made from ground or chopped meat combined with herbs and spices. It may come as bulk sausage, links, or patties. Most sausages contain pork, so they should be cooked until well done, to an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees. Fresh sausage is perishable and should be cooked within 2 days of purchase.

 
 


TIP 2: Cooking Methods & Timing
 


There are several methods for cooking Scott Petersen's Polish Sausage.

Pan-Broil - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place sausages in pan. Cover. Shake pan occasionally to brown sausages evenly. 5-6 minutes

Pan-Fry/Simmer - Bring 1/2 cup of water of liquid to a boil in a covered pan. Reduce to a simmer. Add sausages side by side in pan and simmer gently 8-10 minutes. Pour off liquid. Return sausages to pan and brown them over low heat uncovered. Shake pan occasionally until browned evenly. 15-20 minutes total

Poach - Bring water, beer, or other liquid to boil in a covered pot. Reduce heat. When water is at a simmer, add sausage. Cover pot and simmer slowly. 10-20 minutes

Grill - Prepare a medium hot fire in the grill. Do not prick them before cooking; the drippings cause fire flare-ups. Place the sausages on a greased grill 6" from coals. Sear on all sides, then cover grill and cook slowly, turning often for even browning. 7-15 minutes

Microwave cooking - Note: Never microwave fresh (uncooked) sausage links. They will burst.
To cook Scott Petersen's Polish sausages make diagonal slices in the links. Place on paper or dinner plate. Cover with wax paper. Rearrange halfway through cooking. 4 sausages cook on high 2-4 minutes.

 
 


TIP 3: Defrosting Tip
 


Remove any insulated packaging such as Styrofoam trays or paper liners. Unwrap the meat from its plastic wrap. If you find the wrap clinging to the frozen meat, begin defrosting with the wrap still on and remove it as soon as you can. Do not start timing until the food is completely unwrapped.
