Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 8 Thick Pork Sausages
Vegetables and Aromatics
- 1 Onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 250 g Chestnut Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped
Pantry
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- ½ tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 350 ml Chicken Stock
- 200 ml Creme Fraiche (or soured cream)
Instructions
- Brown the Sausages: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and brown the thick pork sausages until well colored on all sides. Once browned, remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the butter. Cook the finely chopped onion, garlic, and sliced chestnut mushrooms until they are soft and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the tomato puree, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika, combining thoroughly to coat the vegetables and release their aromas.
- Simmer with Stock: Pour in the chicken stock, then return the browned sausages to the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sausages to cook through.
- Add Creaminess: Mix in the creme fraiche to the simmering sauce, stirring well until incorporated, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Season and Serve: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately garnished with freshly chopped parsley. This dish pairs wonderfully with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
