Repeats

I must be sick of thinking of new recipes, or sick of blogging.... not sure which.

Tonight, I made the beer simmered sausages again.  When I read over my original post, hoping that I finally could benefit from all the writing, I realized that I couldn't recreate the recipe at all!!!

Here it goes again, my modifications to the Epicurious recipe:
Beer- Simmer Grilled Sausages

• a toothpick
• 6 uncooked sausages, such as sweet or hot Italian sausages
• 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 beer, as needed (I used Yards Brawler- my second favorite beer, after Miller Lite and before Guinness)

1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes.

2. Lightly spray the pan and place sausages and onions on the hot grill pan. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes.

Tonight, I served it with pesto tortellini and Brussels sprouts. [see comments for "recipes".]
