Ingredients
- 4 sausages, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Slice sausages into bite-sized pieces approximately 1/2 inch thick. Finely chop fresh parsley for garnish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausages and cook until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Reduce heat to medium and add Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir mustard into the sausages, coating them evenly.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine with the sausages and mustard. The cream will begin to thicken and create a rich sauce.
- Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper into the sauce. Stir gently to distribute seasonings throughout the cream sauce.
- Simmer the sausages in the cream sauce for 8-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once sauce has reached desired consistency and sausages are fully cooked, remove from heat.
- Transfer sausages and cream sauce to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread or over rice to soak up the delicious cream sauce.
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausages: Select high-quality sausages with good flavor, as they'll be the star of the dish. Avoid very lean sausages that might dry out during cooking.
- Control Your Heat: Medium-high heat is crucial for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior on the sausages without burning them.
- Don't Rush the Sauce: Allow the cream sauce to simmer and reduce slowly. This concentrates the flavors and creates a thick, luxurious consistency.
- Season Gradually: Taste and adjust seasonings as you cook. The Dijon mustard and paprika add depth, but you can customize to your preference.
- Fresh Herbs Matter: Use freshly chopped parsley for garnish. It adds a bright, fresh contrast to the rich, creamy sauce.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread to soak up every last drop of that incredible cream sauce.
- Make Ahead Tip: This dish can be prepared in advance and gently reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
