    How to Make Catalan-Style Sausages with Rustic Apple Mash

    1. Prepare the Sausages

    Start by pricking the sausages with a pointed knife to prevent them from bursting during cooking.

    2. Cook the Sausages

    Heat a large skillet over low heat and add a bit of oil. Place the sausages in the skillet and fry them gently for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned all over.

    3. Prepare the Apples

    Peel, core, and quarter one apple per person. Place the apples in a pan with a splash of water and cover with a lid. Cook the apples on very low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

    4. Mash the Apples

    Once the apples are soft, uncover the pan and let any excess water evaporate. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the softened apples in the pan until you get a rough puree.

    5. Serve

    Serve the sausages hot alongside a generous helping of the apple puree.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Selecting the Sausages

    Opt for high-quality, fresh sausages from a reputable butcher or market with a good fat content. Authentic Spanish spices or Iberico pork sausages are ideal.

    Resting Time

    Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute and the meat remains juicy and flavorful.

    Balancing the Apple Mash

    Use a mix of tart and sweet apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for a complex flavor profile that complements the sausages.

    Mindful Seasoning

    Be cautious with salt if the sausages are already seasoned. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly.

    Cooking the Sausages

    Sear in a hot pan for caramelization, then reduce heat or finish in the oven for even cooking, especially with thicker sausages.
