Buttered Leek Sausages In Slow Cooker: Dublin Dream. My sister orders this savoury food every time. There are only 4 ingredients and a very rich taste.
Ingredients
-
8 pork sausages (about 11/2 pounds, all together), ideally, Irish or other quality pork sausages that are mild.
-
4 Tablespoons Butter unsalted in small pieces.
-
3 large leeks, white and light green parts, only, halved the full length and cut into fine slices (approximately 4 cups)
-
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Buttered Leek Sausages: Directions
Prepare the Leeks
-
Take the tops and bases of the leeks off, dark green ones.
-
Cut the leeks in half lengthways and half-moons.
-
Run the cut leeks under the running water or in a bowl of cold water swishing them to loosen the grit.
-
Spoon or scrape with a slotted spoon.
Prepare the Slow Cooker Base
-
Sprinkle the leeks in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker to the bottom evenly with the drained leeks.
-
Place pieces of butter on the leeks, in even strokes.
-
Add the chicken broth on the leeks and butter.
Add the Sausages
-
Place the sausages of the lay in a single layer on top of the leeks.
-
Make sure that they rub the mixture of leeks and butter, though they should not be piled.
-
Roll sausages in the press to make contact with leeks and butter.
Cook
-
Close slow cooker by lid.
-
Place in low flame and cook 5-6 hours or high flame and cook 21/2-3 hours.
-
Ensure that the sausages have been cooked to the end and the leek is tender.
-
The sausages must be browned here and there and the leeks smooth and in a good butter sauce.
Serve
-
Sample the buttery leeks and add salt and freshly ground black pepper, as required.
-
Put sausages and leeks with their buttery juice into shallow bowls or into plates.
-
Serve hot.
