Red Wine Sausage Bites
8 servings
20 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 links smoked Cajun (or andouille) sausage (12–16 oz total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅔ cup dry red wine
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • Crusty baguette (for serving)
  • Toothpicks (for serving)
  • Manchego cheese (optional for serving)

Steps

    1. Slice garlic thinly. Cut sausages into ½-inch-thick diagonal slices. Preheat large cast iron skillet on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Place oil in skillet and add sausages; cook 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well browned. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute.
    2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add wine, honey, paprika, red pepper, and rosemary; cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture reduces by two-thirds. Remove from heat and let stand to cool (sauce will thicken as it cools). Slice baguette; secure sausages onto baguette slices with toothpicks. Serve with sliced Manchego cheese, if using.
