Sausage - Cajun

There are many different ways to prepare sausage. Baking sausage is a quick and easy method. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the sausage evenly on a foil lined baking pan. Bake in the oven on the middle rack for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the sausage reaches and internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This technique does not require turning the sausage over. Serve alone or in sandwiches and soups.

Pan-frying sausage

Add a tiny drizzle of olive oil in a heavy skillet just to get things started.

Add the sausages to the pan and cook, turning every minute or two, for about 12 minutes, or until nice and brown on all sides

Before serving, check the sausages are piping hot all the way through and that no pink remains. 160 Degrees internal temperature.

 

Grilling Sausage 

Get the coals on the barbecue nice and hot, without too much flame and with plenty of glowing embers.

Rake the coals into a big pile on one side and a smaller pile on the other – this is to make a hot side and a cool side of the barbecue.

 Put the sausages on the hot side, making sure they’re not touching each other, and cook for a few minutes, turning every minute or two, until light brown on all sides.

If any flames flair up, move the sausages out of the way.

When golden all over, use tongs to move the sausages to the cooler side of the barbecue so they can cook through without burning.

Before serving, check the sausages are piping hot all the way through and that no pink remains. 160 Degrees.

The same method of heat applies for gas grills. 

 

Baking Sausage 

Pre heat oven to350ºF

Get yourself a wire rack and pop it on top of a baking tray.

Spread them out evenly on the wire rack.

Cook in the hot oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway, so they brown evenly.

 Before serving, check the sausages are piping hot all the way through and that no pink   remains. 160 Degrees.
