Roasted Italian Sausage
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading...Roasted Italian Sausage is proof that Italian Cooking needs little to give a lot: just choose excellent ingredients and put them in the oven. A recipe that prepares and cooks practically by itself I thought a lot before adding “Italian” to the title of this recipe: in fact, preparations like this belong to all gastronomic cultures. This recipe, however, acquires a purely Italian touch when you use fresh aromatic herbs (avoid ready-made mixes in a jar) and, above all, when you find and buy Italian sausages (with that beautiful pink color flecked by the white of the fat) which, allow me to be exaggeratedly parochial, are a true masterpiece of taste
Ingredients
- Fresh Italian Sausages 4 (or more, it depends from your appetite)
- Potatoes 8 (about 1 kg)
- Onions 2
- Mushrooms 600gr
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt&Pepper
- Fresh Aromatic Herbs (Sage, Rosemary, Bay Leaf)
Instructions
Wash and peel all the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into rather large pieces, the mushrooms in 4 and slice the onions in rings. Pierce the sausages with a fork, so that they do not split during cooking
Heat the oven to maximum temperature. Cover the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper and arrange the potatoes and onions. Season with plenty of oil, a little salt (the sausages are tasty and you can add it at the end), a generous handful of pepper and mix with your hands, so that every piece is flavored well
Add the sausages and finally the aromatic herbs
Put in the oven, lower the temperature to 180 ° / 375F and let it cook for about 30 minutes but checking often. Stir the vegetables one last time and add the mushrooms. Cook for another 15 minutes. At the end of cooking, check that the sausages are cooked by making a small cut: the inside must not be pink
Bring it to the table immediately to the delight of your guests
Notes
Roasted Italian Sausage is a great classic of Italian Cooking, a great comfort food and the perfect dish for a Sunday family lunch: when arrive at the table they are always greeted with applause Such a simple dish, however, deserves some special attention. The dressing must be well balanced: extra virgin olive oil, a little salt, pepper and many aromatic herbs to give it taste and aroma. Then pay attention to cooking: check what happens in the oven, mix the ingredients often and cover with aluminum foil if you see that the vegetables start to burn
