Here’s a recipe for Onion Sausages — savory, flavorful sausages with the sweetness of caramelized onions. You can make them fresh or cook pre-made sausages with onions for a quick version. 🌭🧅
🌭 Onion Sausages
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Ingredients
-
4–6 sausages (pork, beef, or chicken)
-
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
-
2 tbsp butter or oil
-
1/2 tsp salt, to taste
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp smoked paprika or dried herbs (optional)
-
1/4 cup (60 ml) water or stock (for braising, optional)
Instructions
1. Caramelize the onions
-
Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add sliced onions, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 10–12 minutes.
-
Optional: Add smoked paprika or herbs for extra flavor.
2. Cook the sausages
-
Push onions to the side and add sausages to the pan.
-
Brown sausages on all sides over medium heat, 5–7 minutes.
3. Simmer together
-
Optional: Add 1/4 cup water or stock, cover, and simmer 5–10 minutes until sausages are fully cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C for pork).
-
Stir occasionally so onions coat the sausages.
4. Serve
-
Serve sausages topped with caramelized onions.
-
Great with mashed potatoes, in a bun, or alongside roasted vegetables.
💡 Tips
-
Sweeter onions: Sprinkle a pinch of sugar while caramelizing.
-
Extra flavor: Deglaze the pan with a splash of cider, beer, or wine before simmering.
-
Make-ahead: Cook sausages fully and store in fridge; reheat with onions when needed.
If you want, I can also give a baked onion sausage casserole version — sausages baked with onions, peppers, and potatoes for a hearty meal.
Do you want that version?
