  • Chicken sausages and a jam up meal tonight at least I hope so!

    A couple weeks ago I made homemade chicken sausages. I didn't post about it then because I had been posting a lot of stuff and I didn't want to seem like a posting whore. I'm cooking a couple tonight for my supper and I'm excited aboot it. Here's the sausage making:

    I used all chicken thighs, they were bone in and skin on and they really had a lot of fat on them. I deboned and saved them there bones for stock. Everything else went in to the sausage. I didn't add any other fat other than the butter in the cornbread. I made a nice old fashioned corn bread with fresh sage, thyme, lots of butter, buttermilk. After it cooled I put it on a baking sheet to dry it in the oven for a little bit. It was still quite buttery though.



    Fried up some sage leaves in my homemade butter:



    I also had a couple of apples I needed to use up so I sliced them paper thin and put them in the dehydrator:



    To the cut up chicken I added the cornbread mixture, sage leaves, sun dried tomatoes, dried apples, roasted garlic and a heaping tablespoon of red pepper flakes










    The other reason I didn't post aboot them when I did them was because I wanted to cook them in a recipe. A great recipe. So I have been thinking about it for a couple weeks and it is in the works. I think I will par-boil the sausage in chicken stock then cook on the grill. They are kinda fat and I think they will split before I can get them cooked through. We'll see.

    I can tell ya this though, tonights dinner includes bacon jam:



    I also made a pullman bread loaf. This is yummy bread, so I thought, hey, I'm hungry, hey we have homemade bread, hey, we have bacon jam.





    .

    Hopefully the rest of my meal will turn out as planned and I can post aboot it later tonight! Woohoo!

                  So dinner is done and I'm full as a tick. I made cannellini beans with spinach. I wanted a flavorful sauce so I used homemade chicken stock, keffir lime leaves, bay leaves, fresh thyme, garlic and of course ham hocks. Also added Lapong black peppercorns, and my fave saffron. I also reduced down the liquid and then added a bit of heavy cream.

                  For the bacon jam I cooked a pound of bacon, then a couple onions low and slow. For the spices I added toasted black cumin seeds, coriander and crushed red pepper flakes.

                  I par-boiled the sausage in a mixture of chicken stock and a few ladles full of the stock from the beans, then put it on the grill. I will say this, if I had not par-boiled it first, it would have been way too dry. I realize I must add more fat to the sausages next time I make them. It was really good and flavorful, but a tad bit on the dry side.

                  I toasted some of my homemade pullman bread and I gotta say that my favorite part of this whole dish was taking the bread and piling up everything on it.

                  The grape tomatoes were slow cooked for 5 hours with garlic, rosemary and balsamic vinegar. That was insane good.

                  Overall, was happy with the meal, cleaned me plate, but as I said, next time I make chicken sausage I will definitely add more fat. Thanks for looking!!!

                              Wow a lot going on on that plate! The sausage sounds interesting. So do the tomatoes. Not sure about that bean dish. But the bacon jam got my attention. Everyone knows how I feel about bacon. Have to give that a shot soon.
