Angry® Mustard on Angry® Sausage

Here it is again, time for our Improv Challenge where cooks are assigned a couple unlikely ingredients and asked to come up with a recipe. September’s selected components are Sausage & Mustard.  I decided that I’d also toss in apples and hard cider, since it’s (supposed to be) Fall. My favorite hard drink, any time of year, is Angry Orchard® Crisp Apple.EJ-ANGRYmustard (1)The mustard needed to be made a couple weeks early. It’s flavor is rather “angry” now – there’s quite a bit of kick to it. Next time I’ll not use that much of the mustard powder…EJ-ANGRYmustardrecipeThe sausage I thought a little dry. So, next time I will skip the turkey and use all pork! To save time, (and because our final dish needed sausage crumbled) we did not stuff the mixture into casings – but I would highly recommend that for boiling then grilling…EJ-ANGRYsausagerecipeOur favorite way to eat sausage is to boil them in beer, toss them on the grill, shove them into a soft & chewy hoagie roll, pile them high with grilled peppers & onions, then slather them with some deli mustard!Unfortunately, when life hands members of the family a low-sodium & gluten-free diet, you have to modify that dream dish…

What I visualized was a nice Bob’s Red Mill® Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour dough that I could wrap up some sausage & onion/pepper hand pies… Regrettably, said dough didn’t quite get that visualization and consequently did not cooperate in the desired manner.

I did manage, however, to spread the stupid uncooperative offending @$#%*&^ tacky dough across a sheet of parchment to create a sausage and onion & pepper flat bread. I put down a little mustard before sprinkling on the other ingredients.EJ-ANGRYsausage (7)Oh wow! That turned out better than I’d hoped!EJ-ANGRYsausage (9)And then, of course, served the Angy Mustard along side…EJ-ANGRYmustard (7)

  1. LOVE Angry Orchard and it's about the only "beer" my husband is drinking these days as he's gluten-free. I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Don't like beer taste, so no problem there for me being gf! :)
      I was much TOO excited, though, when the hubs brought home an Angry Orchard case of 24 from Costco...

    1. Ahhhhh, but I "cheated" on the sausage this time -- I bought ground meat. :)

  3. I absolutely love that you made nearly every component of this dish. I never thought to cook with Angry Orchard ciders. Now I want to go pick some up. I love the hand pie idea, but the flatbread looks mouthwateringly delicious.

    1. OH! Nichole! Then you've got to try the caramel sauce I made with it here: http://elisabethjeancustom.blogspot.com/2014/11/churros-with-angryorchard-caramel-dip.html
